After Ukraine, Officials Fear Putin Will Move to Curb Israel's Syria Operations
Defense officials are concerned that the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine may disrupt Israel's efforts to fend off Iranian entrenchment in Syria and the region

Israeli officials have been closely following Russia's advance on Ukraine, as well as the West's response to it, fearing they could have serious implications on Israel's efforts to keep Iran and its regional proxies in check.
Israel has been trying to avoid any statements or actions that may upset Russia, so much so that senior defense officials were asked not to publicly comment on the situation in Ukraine. The defense establishment's main concern the obstruction of the delicate Israeli-Russian ties on Syria, where the Israeli military has been reportedly operating regularly against Iran-backed forces, namely Lebanese group Hezbollah.

Israel attacks Syria from illegally-occupied Syrian heights and from Lebanese airspace. It does this to defend its illegal occupation of Palestine.
Far from opposing this criminality the US assists it. That's why NATO is a gang of invasive, aggressive warmongering hypocrites. European members should observe the Ukrainian clusterfuck and withdraw from it. Why be America's henchmen ?
