The questions to ask are, what does Israel rely on Russia for, and vice versa.
USA and Israel for example, weapons, technology, technology companies, technology sharing, intelligence, progoganda, finance, un voting.... It's a joint operation.
Do Russia or Israel have anything similar ?
The incomparable expert on the ground war in Gaza Jon Elmer in this part of the video starts to show how again the Gazans let the Israel rescuers take away their wounded ones. Very stupid of them! Target the rescuers and their vehicles at least if you don't want to target the injured IDF soldiers!! The odds are already heavily stacked against the Gazans. @UKBengali
On the latter point if it's just a group of people then remember Putin dealt with the oligarchsI have found very little info on as to why Russia is not taking advantage of Israel's current precarious situation to gain concessions from Americans on Ukraine. What more can the Americans do against Russia than already done against Russia??!! In contrast, a little squeeze of Israel by Russia would get the Americans really worried. Russia maybe a B grade military now but it still has immense intelligence gathering resources and can also deploy its nukes, under Russian administration, to threaten Israel. I don't know if Russia can spare much anti-aircraft measures given Russia's own dire needs.
Leaving aside the military matters, to answer you question, I don't know! The little I have gathered is that there is the large Russian Jewish diaspora in Israel and that there are powerful rich Jewish people in the Russian power elite--even around Putin. I don't know. But the sleeping Bear Russia is indeed sleeping here. Missing a potentially strategic opportunity to end the Ukraine war on Russia's terms!!!
That's what I was thinking too--or simply some 'Ghoul' rifles shots. How the Gazans are watching Israelis almost leisurely carrying away their injured within the Gazan weaponry. Countless such videos. Just mindboggling 'compassion' for the dead ones given what Israel is doing in Gaza and given the odds against the Gazans. Such rules should apply to proper militaries like the Indian and Pakistanis treat each others' dead, captured and the injured.Just 2 Yassins fired would have killed 10-12 Zionist terrorists there.
I don't think russia wants to have on its scorecard being responsible for the weakening of Israel, that will create enmity down the line that might not be needed.
Also, that might just go too far up the escalation ladder too quickly, though apparently in Russian military schools they are talking to hamas and Russia will protect Iran to the extent it can
Russia is majorly bled due to the American support to Ukraine. In light of that, not using whatever leverage they can have to pressurize the Americans sounds stupid to me. But then I never thought the Russians were good strategic thinkers--they have immense resources and they throw in soldiers into meat grinders and often prevailed. Heck, the Americans were in their backyard for 20 years in Afghanistan until recently and Russia did diddly squat while the Americans were already bleeding Russia after the 2014 coup in Ukraine.
