Vladimir Putin seems to prefer Iran to Israel: Did Netanyahu's summit with the Russian president fail?

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the seaside resort of Sochi, on the shores of the Black Sea, to educate him about the seriousness of the situation following the consolidation of Iranian forces in Syria and Lebanon. . “I conveyed to Putin the seriousness of the issue and stressed that we are not going to allow it. All of this is directed against us and we are not going to accept it.” Israel demands that Russia take its side and prevent Iran from strengthening in the neighboring region.

However, from Moscow's point of view things seem to be seen differently. It is not certain that Putin has accepted Netanyahu's expressions nor that he intends to do anything about it.

An official close to the Kremlin told the Pravda newspaper that “Israel seemed alarmed, close to panic.” The source, a former official in the political and defense apparatus, told the newspaper, considered a spokesperson for the Russian Government, a harsh approach towards Israel, and it is likely that Putin himself is behind that vision.

“Despite Israel's anxiety, the Russian leader remained calm,” the newspaper adds. "Putin noted that 'Iran is a strategic ally of Russia in the Middle East', and even added that 'Israel is an important partner for Russia in the region', and pointed out that Moscow takes into account the interests of the Jewish State."

“Netanyahu's nightmare came true because Putin rejected his threats,” the newspaper maintains. The newspaper emphasizes that Netanyahu failed in his attempt to convince Putin that, according to reports, Russia will continue to act to strengthen Iran's position in the region. “Israel cannot show the Kremlin Russian political projects to strengthen its policy in the Middle East. "Russia will continue to strengthen and consolidate Iran's influence against the Arab monarchies that are trying together with Israel to create a NATO-style military alliance, which receives authority and directives from the Americans."

Meanwhile, the head of Military Intelligence, General Herzi Halevi, expressed to the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, about the situation on the various fronts. Especially about the Iranian military consolidation in Syria and the power of the Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon. Halevi stressed that Iran's desire to produce precision missiles for Hezbollah in Lebanese territory and for the Syrian military industry is a serious development about which Israel cannot remain indifferent.

“The consolidation of Iran and the Shiite axis in Syria and the strengthening of Hezbollah in Lebanon are two processes that could lead to an undesirable escalation on the northern front,” Halevi warned.

  1. Well. This was already known. Russia was never a friend of Israel. In fact in all the wars she sold weapons to the Arabs.
    Israel will have to defend itself against Iran and it better do it quickly because there will come a time when Iranian power will be such that Israel will not be able to do anything that does not mean its own suicide. And I say it with sadness...

  2. Russia is only a friend of Russia……Israel represents little to her and on the other hand Iran, Iraq, Assad's Syria, Lebanon, Hezbollah and this entire vast Shiite world……are an immense space in which to develop her ambitions and games of great power.

    1. And yet Israel in its small territory is a great military, economic and technological power…….Putin's great Russia, like the Soviet Union, is a giant with feet of clay……WHAT ISRAEL EXPORTS…….HIGH TECHNOLOGY…… ..WHAT RUSSIA EXPORTS……OIL.GAS AND RAW MATERIALS……LIKE NIGERIA.

      1. Tell me how Israel is going to change the equation in Syria if it uses it, it seems that it is no longer interested in Syria, attacks on combos can do more to change the direction of a war, it can no longer, the Americans were able to change it with the issue of chemical attacks but It didn't go any further, they have stopped demanding the departure of al Assad
        Israel only threatens but it is not going to act either

        1. Unfortunately, Israel cannot change the situation in Syria... Assad has saved his skin thanks to the Russian-Iranian alliance and its Hezbollah satellites... and now all Israeli action in Syria is conditioned on the tolerance of the Russians because of course Israel He cannot come to blows with Russia.

          1. In extreme cases... Israel can warn that if it is attacked by Hezbollah it will respond with a massive attack not only on Lebanon but also on Syria and Iran... and above all it must cover its back with the USA... which is the only one. that can counteract Russia...if Trump wants...of course.

        2. Wow, I just found out a good thing... it turns out that the factor close to the Kremlin is not even from Pravda... spokesperson for the communist party in opposition to Putin's government and that does not represent any official position of the Russian government......

          1. It would be a…..FAKE…..of a well-known website linked to the Russian extreme right…..web.pravda.ru…..which has nothing to do with the newspaper Pravda…..and where all kinds of statements are formulated. delusional conspiracy theories and blatant anti-Semitism.

          1. Do you remember the merkava vs rpg-29
            The drone that they couldn't shoot down with three tomahowks (however you spell it)

            Surely they just make scrap

    1. Well, after having said where they were, they should have attacked them and then announced it, it's been two months since the last attack on Syria and before it was at least every month, from what I see the f35s are not so undetectable

  3. BUT THOSE FEET OF CLOUD ARE SITTED ON HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES THAT MAKE IT A GREAT MILITARY POWER. LET'S NOT UNDERESTIMATE. ISRAEL IS A WONDERFUL, BUT IT WILL NEED HELP FROM THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE IT HAS NARROWER LIMITS.-

    1. I don't value Russia......it is the only world power along with the USA......that can destroy the planet.....but it is a sudderrolled empire......a third world country...we buy weapons from Russia but not cars ….China is already beginning to export them…..an empire is not only founded on military force but also on a modern economy and demographic health…….like China.

  4. Russia did not go into Syria to help Assad because of his pretty face, just as Iran saw the opportunity and took advantage of it to have influence and take advantage. The situation may be like in times of the Cold War, because Russia will be a superpower that is very much in decline, but at the end of the day a superpower that can do a lot of damage if it gets angry, let alone if it is attacked, while Israel can be a friendly country to everyone, including Russia, but it is too evident that its preferred ally is the United States. Apart from all this, it is not well known how he has achieved it but, if there is an escalation of threats or a confrontation against Russia, he has a large group of fans in Europe and other countries, both extreme right and communist, almost the same could be said. from Iran.

  5. It was a mistake to trust Russia and Putin. I know it had to be done because you couldn't fight Putin and Obama in different ways at the same time, but I think the time has come to intervene in the Syrian civil war before Iran and Syria destroy the moderate opposition, now that the Islamic state is almost defeated is the moment later it will be very difficult,

  6. I always said that Putin was going to betray Israel, he was never a friend of Israel. They Should Let Putin Follow His Untrustworthy Path

  7. It is misleading to think that the cold war is over. The United States and the USSR, I mean, Russia, continue to control the pawns on the board.

  8. If Israel would repent and accept the Messiah that they have rejected throughout their history, what things would God do for them! The Palestinians would be submissive to them and the Arabs their good friends.
    It would be the locomotive that leads the people of the Middle East to better development. It would not need the US for its defense and Russian influence nor would it be noticed in those lands. But, if they wish, they can go to be reconciled with Jesus. He has been waiting for 2000 years.

  9. PUTIN HAS SOLD TECHNOLOGY AND WEAPONS TO IRAN, SO THAT IRAN CAN SEND THEM TO SYRIA AS WELL AS TO HEZBOLLAH. HOW IS PUTIN GOING TO LOSE THESE VERY IMPORTANT CUSTOMERS? BECAUSE THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY, OF COURSE, HAS BEEN REINFORCED WITH ALL THAT TRADE OF THE MILITARY INDUSTRY... SO, HOW DOES NETANIAHU PRETEND PUTIN TO SHUT THE DOWN TO IRAN, SYRIA, HEZBOLLAH? FOR WHOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES?
    LOGICALLY WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS, BECAUSE THESE SAVAGES ARE ARMING TO ATTACK WHO? Answer: TO ISRAEL. WHO ARMS THEM? RUSSIA. AND RUSSIA WHAT? AH, “QUIET”, RUSSIA HAS DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL. RUSSIA, TO SAY IT IN A COLLOQUIAL WAY, DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ISRAEL.
    LOOK AT YOU. : MAKING A REWIND, WHEN THE WAR BEGAN IN SYRIA, ISRAEL SHOULD HAVE STRATEGICALLY ALLIED WITH SYRIA TO AVOID TODAY, SYRIA FROM NOW TURNING ALL ITS RAGE AGAINST ISRAEL. IT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED RUSSIA FROM ARMING SYRIA TO THE TEETH. RUSSIA IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW ISRAEL TO ATTACK ITS CLIENT. IT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED IRAN FROM DISTILLING ITS MISSILE FACTORY HATE IN SYRIA AND LEBANON.
    WE NEED IN ISRAEL, A TRUE STATESMAN, NOT A TRUE POLITICIAN. AS WE SAY ON THE COAST, WE ARE NECK-DEEP IN THIS SHITTY PERSPECTIVES.
    I HOPE THAT HASHEM, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ABANDONED HIM, WILL NEVER ABANDONE US AND JUST LIKE IN EGYPT, ACT WITH “EXTENDED ARM” AND END THIS PLAGUE OF IRAN, SYRIA, HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS.
