Israel’s futile policy towards Russia
In his article ‘Israel’s futile policy towards Russia’ for Fathom Journal, our senior researcher Azriel Bermant critiques Israel's recent vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's aggression in Ukraine. Bermant analyses Israel’s approach towards Russia, questioning whether its alignment with Moscow is a matter of necessity or choice.
"Azriel Bermant argues for seeing Israel's vote against a recent UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine as ideological as well as political. Bermant criticizes what he sees as Jerusalem's support for Putin's aggression, arguing that Moscow has not returned the favor. 'It may be convenient to believe that Israel's overtures towards Russia are foisted upon Israel by the Trump administration,' he concludes. But 'it is more difficult to countenance the idea that Israel is seeking a rapprochement with Putin's Russia as a matter of choice. Bibi can do so now that he is no longer constrained by a Biden administration that viewed Putin as a murderous thug.'"
