    Re: What alliance isn't?....nm

    In general this is true and at the end of the day this is just a header. IMO there were interesting takeaways if one drills into the article (apart from the fact that there is a dialogue between RF and Hamas - which I didn't realise until I read it here):

    Of course, the Russian president understands that his invocation of Ukraine's weak historical justification for statehood allows him to adopt the same context-rich approach when discussing protracted conflicts in other regions. His history-based formula for tackling the root of conflict applies equally to the establishment of the Israeli state against the objections of Palestinians and their neighboring nations, which likely will play a role in Putin's position on how to move forward with the Palestine–Israel problem.

    I don't think RF can take the leading role in mediating in the ME at the mo since they have their hands full in Ukraine. But that will end.
