What a lot of people also ignore, is that Israel and Russia are actually relatively close given the general relationship between Russia and the West. Not exactly allies, but Israel did not even sanction Russia after the full scale invasion and refuses to sell or even allow the transfer of weapons to Ukraine. They also cooperated in Syria and there are a lot of Russians living in Israel, including many oligarchs. Putin tends to say that he supports Palestinians, but he is very willing to sell oil to Israel. Also no sanctions or anything, so this is just rethoric from Putin.

    Also,

    “almost two million people from the former Soviet Union and the Russian Federation reside in Israel. It is almost a Russian-speaking country today. And, undoubtedly, we always take this into account in Russia’s contemporary history”.

    • Putler is quite fond of Israel's 3rd most spoken language being Russian
