Until early this year, the most sensitive dimension in the relationship between Russia and Israel was the Syrian one. Moscow was determined to protect its foothold there and therefore prop up the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Jerusalem avoided friction with the Russians to keep fighting Iran's forces and proxies in the Arab Republic. With the prolonged Ukraine war, Russian priorities changed considerably; at least for the duration of the conflict between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymr Zelenskyy. Now Moscow needs Tehran for arms and munitions, and it also expects Jerusalem to resist Kiev's pressure to supply it with lethal military aid. This episode focuses on the positions and prospects in this uneasy relationship. Panel: - Jonathan Hessen, Host. - Amir Oren, Editor at Large, Host of Watchmen Talk and Powers in Play. - Maj. Gen.

The eighth round of U.N.-sponsored peace talks in Geneva faltered this month, to the disappointment of Syria envoy Steffan de Mistura, who called failed negotiations a “missed opportunity." Russia, on the other-hand, is hoping that upcoming Moscow-backed negotiations in the Kazakh capital of Astana and the Russian city of Sochi will yield a political settlement for the Syrian war. On this episode of Deeply Talks, Hashem Osseiran, deputy managing editor, speaks with Rami Khouri, senior public policy fellow at the American University of Beirut and non-resident senior fellow with the Middle East Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School, and Max Suchkov, editor of Al-Monitor’s Russia-Mideast coverage, about the prospects and challenges of a settlement for Syria.
