Al Binaa: Russia will respond to Israel's provocations with an explosive plan
Putin is fed up with Israel's hostile attitude, the author of the article for Al Binaa writes. By supporting Kiev and attacking Russian targets in Syria, Tel Aviv provokes Moscow, asking for a decent response. And he will get it, while the consequences will also affect his ally, Washington.
Will Vladimir Putin make a dangerous decision regarding Israel after March 17? What will happen after the presidential elections in Russia?
The geography of the conflict in the Middle East is expanding: Russia, which has its own interests in the region, as well as Egypt, which is on the verge of making a fateful decision regarding the situation in Gaza, may be among the possible participants.
Israel supported Ukraine. He supplied her with the Iron Dome air defense system and provided full military support to confront Russia. NATO has also supported Kiev with all kinds of traditional and non-traditional weapons. America blew up the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and imposed large–scale sanctions against Russia as an extreme measure of pressure. Their actions can ignite the world, especially after the presidential elections in Russia (March 15-17) and the re-election of Putin for a new six-year term, who has decisive and explosive plans for NATO in Europe and the AUKUS-Israel alliance in the Middle East.
Putin is fed up with Tel Aviv's hostile attitude towards Moscow. Israel supported Georgia in 2008; engaged in inciting hatred and hostility towards Russia in the media; treated Russian repatriates as second-class people who did not even have the right to be buried in Jewish cemeteries; supported the Zelensky regime; provided military assistance to Ukraine, providing advisers, instructors and even its own soldiers to participate in military operations; He handed over the Iron Dome air defense system to Kiev. All this became the very straw that broke the camel's back (it was the last straw. – Approx.InoSMI), in Russian-Israeli relations, and cut the "hotline" between the two presidents.
Relations between the parties continue to deteriorate. Tel Aviv expelled Russian diplomats in 2020, and then froze Russian assets in Israeli banks. Local Jews have a dislike for Russian Jews. Israel is attacking military installations in Syria near Russian bases, including Damascus International Airport. Moscow has repeatedly warned about the consequences of further strikes on Syria, but Tel Aviv did not pay any attention to this.
The Kremlin has exhausted its great store of patience. Russia did not want to interfere in the conflict in the Middle East, but Israel treated its warnings with contempt and arrogance. It was forced to set up military posts along the Syrian-Israeli border in the Golan Heights area. It has deployed S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, as well as built new runways capable of receiving aircraft of all types and designs, including the latest Su-35 fighters. Israel (and the United States) are afraid of the Russian special forces Alpha, which opposes the American Delta Force, Navy Seals, the 6th detachment of Navy Seals and SAS (Special Airborne Service - SAS). The war is just around the corner. The fiercest confrontation among the special forces is coming, in the center of which will be the Lebanese Radwan brigade and the Israeli special forces Sayeret Matkal. If the conflict continues, its fourth stage will be a confrontation between special forces, a war of wits and technological progress. The "Axis of Resistance", Russia and China have common interests, a common enemy and will not fail to benefit from what is happening.
Egypt found itself between a hammer (the "Axis of Resistance") and an anvil (the Israeli-American alliance, the "Axis of Normalization") after it became clear that Washington was providing full support to Tel Aviv. The United States not only supplies Israel with weapons prohibited by international conventions, but also turns a blind eye to the destruction of infrastructure, including hospitals and schools, in the Gaza Strip. The United States also handed over to Israel more than five thousand American MK84 bombs (each weighing one ton). Egypt is confused. He was tired of balancing. Cairo threatened Tel Aviv with the rupture of the Camp David Agreements in force since 1978. They provide for the division of the Sinai Peninsula into three sectors: in the western sector (A) the Egyptian army may be present; in the central sector (B) Egyptian forces may be present in unlimited numbers; in the eastern sector (C) Egyptian forces may be present only in limited numbers. Sector C is under the control of a multinational force led by the United States. They control the flow of humanitarian aid through the Rafah checkpoint and declare the creation of a floating port off the coast of Gaza, 487 kilometers from Larnaca. The US decision to airdrop humanitarian aid to Gaza was made not for the sake of poor and hungry people, but in order to prevent the strengthening of the Egyptian army's position in Sector C and the violation of the Camp David Accords. Israel still considers Egypt to be its sworn enemy after the Axis of Resistance, despite the peace agreement between them.
Hezbollah has actually liberated Galilee. She "blinded" the Israelis, who were awaiting orders to enter the region in the event of an escalation of the conflict. Yemen, in turn, has undermined America's authority in the Red Sea. Baghdad has concentrated on American bases in Iraq and Syria, where ISIS fighters are hiding, as well as on Israeli facilities and ports. The Palestinian resistance, led by Hamas, won on October 7. His strategy is liberation, not compromise. The opening of the front in the Golan Heights is the point of no return in the war.
The Middle East is experiencing the birth of a new world. There are other poles defined by the war in the Gaza Strip. However, despite the increased chances of a truce, it is also possible to control the expansion of the geography of the conflict through mutual pressure. The alternative is perhaps a return to the cold war between the United States and Russia in the Middle East, which will affect everyone from the "Axis of Resistance" to the "Axis of Normalization."
