The attacks in Syria and the clash over Iranian influence in the region make the challenge between Israel and Israel increasingly heated Russia for control of the war and the region. A clash that has been going on for months now and that both Putin and Netanyahu do not seem to be able to limit due to explicit statements divergences of interests between Moscow and Tel Aviv on how this troubled war, which appears increasingly interminable and full of complications, should be managed and concluded. Israel, according to Israeli media, would like to impose on Russia and all the actors involved in the region a series of "red lines" to limit the influence ofIran and the militia of Hezbollah in Syria. However, as reported Haaretz, Israel cannot do this without the agreement with Russia. And this remains a problem since, as has been clear for years now, Above all, Russian President Vladimir Putin "leads the game" in the Arab country. The latest Israeli raids are the embodiment of this geopolitical clash between the two states. The Israeli army declared that it was Syrian anti-aircraft missiles that shot down the Slingshot of David F-16. However, there is one fact that should not be forgotten: Syria would hardly have acted without some sort of Russian green light to let Damascus' anti-aircraft fire hit Israel's air force. As reported Haaretz, among the ranks of the Syrian army There are many Russian advisors and in particular they also have control over the Syrian missile batteriese. It therefore seems difficult that Moscow could have been completely unaware of the Syrian decision to react to yet another bombing .
Russia has full control of the situation in Syria. It manages the airspace and knows when opponents decide to hit each other. Israel was able to hit Hezbollah convoys, the Syrian forces and the Iranian bases thanks to the more or less tacit approval of the Kremlin. It is impossible to think that Israel has acted without Moscow's approval in recent months, especially when there were Russian units nearby. And you have to think the same thing, at this point, of Israel's attack in recent days and the violent reaction of the Syrian anti-aircraft. “President Putin is leading the game in Syria and setting the rules on the ground. Israel can attack Syrian targets, Iranians and Hezbollah, but only if it does not put Bashar al Assad's regime in difficulty", writes Haaretz.“For now, Russia does not allow Iran to establish large bases in Syria or to get too close to the Golan border with Israel. But that doesn't mean Iran will leave Syria.", the analysis continues.

The question is very simple. Russia needs Iran and Hezbollah to allow the Syrian army to control the country. He cannot abandon his allies at this time nor will he. The choice of de-escalation zones together with Iran and Turkey and with Donald Trump's approval was a clear signal of Russia's desire to ensure that Israel could not intervene excessively, letting Tel Aviv let off steam by launching targeted and surgical attacks. However, it seems that in recent weeks Israel's pressure on Syrian dynamics has clearly increased. More and more threatening words are coming from the Israeli Defense towards the Shiite militias present in Lebanon and Syria and Netanyahu continues to ask Putin to prevent the militias linked to Iran from remaining a few kilometers from the Israeli borderno. The recent direct intervention of the United States against the pro-Assad militias can also be read within this dynamic. A Washington, the idea that Moscow now controls the dynamics of the Syrian war is starting to take hold. E, as if that wasn't enough, it was also put in check by Erdogan's Türkiye which, with “Olive Branch”, has made it virtually impossible for the Americans to continue supporting the Kurdish-Syrians without affecting internal relations within NATO.
