Russia will not be able to replace USA as the leader in the middle East. This experts told The Jerusalem Post.
Last week, as reported by “the Rambler”, the Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdul Hafiz Nofal said that Palestine no longer considers the United States a suitable mediator in the settlement of its conflict with Israel, but believes in the role of Russia.
According to him, Washington imposes on parties to the conflict his plan, while Moscow’s position is well known to Palestinians and they highly appreciate.
“the Palestinians no longer believe that the US is a suitable mediator in the peace process,” the diplomat said.
Meanwhile, experts interviewed by The Jerusalem Post, expressed the view that currently Russia is not able to become the new leader in the middle East.
According to Jonathan Sencera of the American analytical center “the Foundation for defense of democracies,” Russia will not be able to become one because between it and Israel there are tensions, for the reason that Moscow has repeatedly expressed support for Iran and the Palestinian Hamas — the main enemies of Jerusalem.
