If Russia Is Supplying Weapons to Hezbollah — Watch Out
WAR is BORING
If Russia Is Supplying Weapons to Hezbollah — Watch Out
February 17, 2016
Even if not, the Lebanese militia will improve its tactics while working alongside the Russians
As its relationships with the United States, Europe and Turkey have deteriorated since its interventions in Ukraine and Syria, one country Moscow remained on good terms with is Israel.
This reflects the increasingly friendly Russian-Israeli relationship since Pres. Vladimir Putin first burst on the scene. Putin visited Israel twice — in 2005 and 2012 — making him the first Russian leader to ever travel to the Jewish state. While there, he went to the Western Wall — Judaism’s holiest site — as well as Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, where Putin observed a moment of silence.
Russia also now takes a more balanced approach to Israel’s terrorism and security concerns, especially compared to the Soviet period. In 2008 for example, the Kremlin promised Israel it would cancel a contract to sell S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, which president Dmitry Medvedev officially did in 2010
