Putin allowed Israel to do anything it wanted in Syria, only giving Syria the S300 a few months ago after Syrian air defences shot down a Russian military plane killing 14 Russians.
Putin is doing nothing to save the brave people of Gaza.
And at Helsinki last year Putin agreed with Trump to guarantee the security of Israel.
Many cannot, or refuse to, see this.
So it would have been a bit obvious had Putin decided to move the Russian Embassy to Israel to Jerusalem, despite Russia recognising West Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel.
The Russian government will not be moving its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Russia’s ambassador said Thursday night, despite signals from Moscow that Russia has shifted its stance on the Israeli capital.
In 2017, Russia’s foreign ministry explicitly recognized the western portion of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city.
“We view West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,” the Foreign Ministry in Moscow said in a statement.
Hitherto, Russia had not recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state, and like most countries, maintained an embassy in the coastal city of Tel Aviv.
