Putin issues first comments on attack on Israel
Russian President Vladimir Putin made his first comments on the recent attack by Hamas on Israel during talks in Moscow with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani on Oct. 10.
During the meeting, which was filmed by Russian state-owned media, Putin claimed that the situation was "a clear example of the failure of U.S. policy in the Middle East."
Putin alleged that the U.S. has not taken into account "the fundamental interests of the Palestinian people," adding that it is necessary to create an "independent sovereign Palestinian state."
This requires the implementation of "the decisions of the UN Security Council" on the matter, he said, without specifying which decisions he was referring to.
The Palestinian armed group Hamas launched an attack of unprecedented scale on Israel on Oct. 7, using missiles and soldiers who infiltrated Israeli territory. As of Oct. 10, more than 900 Israelis and almost 700 Palestinians have been killed, and thousands more wounded.
There is a large Ukrainian community in Israel, estimated by Ukraine's Foreign Ministry as being around 500,000, most of whom left Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The vast majority of them are Jews from Ukraine..................

Any arms agreement most likely has to do with assistance with the war in Ukraine.
Russia has been very lenient with Israel for years, almost treating Israel with kid gloves over their forays into Syrian airspace to destroy Iranian and Hezbollah weapon stashes.
Russia even overlooked Israel shooting down a Russian fighter jet over Syria while bombing Iranian weapon stockpiles there. The agreement reached was better coordination between Israel and Russia going forward.

Not surprisingly, Putin neglects to mention that the only independent Palestinian state in which Hamas is interested is one that goes "from the river to the sea". One state, ruled by Islamic fundamentalists. They have no interest in a state separate from Israel.
So to give Hamas the only thing it is willing to accept, Israel must cease to exist.
