“Russia is set to benefit from the Israel-Hamas conflict, as Israel’s requests for US military aid risk diverting weapons and focus from Ukraine while the rising price of oil bolsters Moscow’s economy,” Bloomberg reports.
“US and NATO allies have rebuffed concerns about their ability to continue supporting Ukraine militarily in the aftermath of Gaza-based militant group Hamas’s attack on Israel, which already receives billions in aid from Washington every year.”
“Yet there’s a clear understanding in the Kremlin that the war between Israel and Hamas will work to Russia’s favor… The conflict may, at the very least, work to distract US and European attention from the war in Ukraine.”
