Israel is positioning herself as anti-Russian party in that part of the world, this is clear to anybody with a bit of intelligence. And as far as I know, the US foreign policies are influenced to a certain extent by the Zionist and Extremist Evangelical Zionists lobby in US.
Israel keeps attacking Russia’s ally Syria, over, and over, and that is not an act of friendliness to Russia by Israel.
Their so called “we are defending ourselves against the terrorist Hezbollah” is a distortion of the reality. It is Israel who is supporting the terrorists in Syria, and it is Israel who has been committing acts of aggression against Syria.
I think Russia should give Syria the weapons she needs to effectively defend herself from any and all aggressors.
