Tehran, IRNA – Following Russia’s decision to close the Jewish Agency, which seems to be another example of Moscow-Tel Aviv differences that kickstarted from the onset of the Ukraine crisis, the depth of disputes and possibility of exacerbation of tensions in the near future are growing increasingly.

The war in Ukraine kicked off on February 24, 2022, and turned into a historical moment, which affected numerous regional and international equations, including the blatant clash between Russia and the Zionist regime.

The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation has recently issued a decree, announcing all activities of the Jewish Agency are forbidden on Russia’s soil. The agency was established in 1948 and played a key role in the formation of the Zionist regime in Palestine and facilitated the immigration of millions of Jewish migrants from all over the world.

Merely from the end of the 1980s through the end of the 1990s, the agency paved the way for the immigration of about one million migrants from the Soviet Union to the occupied territories.

Nowadays, it played a key role in dispatching around 16k Ukrainian refugees to the occupied lands of Palestine.

Yair Lapid, Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, reacted to the suspension of the Jewish Agency in Russia, ordering his Foreign Ministry to prepare an action package against Russia to be implemented following the potential closure of the agency’s office in Moscow.

The Zionist regime’s officials adopted impartial but ambiguous stances in dealing with the Ukrainian war. The then Zionist prime minister Naftali Bennett called both sides repeatedly in order to appease both warring countries, but after the war lasted for a while, the regime was forced by Western powers to back European and American sanctions against Russia.

The serious start of tension between Russia and the Zionist regime happened when Tel Aviv voted for a resolution against Moscow at the UN Human Rights Council, when the absolute majority of member states of the UN General Assembly voted for the suspension of Russia from the UNHCR on April 7, 2022.

Kremlin reacted to the vote in a harsh statement, warning that Israel continues to violate several resolutions of the UN Security Council and the UNGA in a bid to keep occupying and usurping Palestinian lands illegally.

On the other side, the Zionist regime’s officials described Russians’ acts in Ukraine as a “war crime” and the regime’s Knesset hosted Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Then, Russia published a report on the Zionists’ warplane attack on Syria in April 2022 and condemned the Zionist regime’s inhuman acts at al-Aqsa Mosque at the same time.

Expectedly, their disputes on issues such as the Ukraine war, intervention in Syria, and aggression against Palestinians would increase to new levels of tensions in the future.
