Following the Moscow Interior Ministry's demand to halt the Jewish Agency's activity in the country, Zvi Magen claimed that the Russian trend in recent weeks has been to move away from Jerusalem and closer to Tehran.


Zvi Magen, a former Israeli ambassador to Russia and Ukraine and head of the Nativ organization, told Israel Today: Unfriendly on the part of Moscow, from the anti-Semitic and uncharacteristic statement of Foreign Minister Lavrov that 'Hitler was of Jewish descent', through the Russian appeal to the Security Council after the attack on the Damascus airport attributed to Israel, to the first reports a few weeks ago. . 

"It is possible that in the end the move will not lead to practical steps."

Magen added that "there is a trend here that indicates a Russian attempt to create a conflict with Israel, and there may be some motives behind it. It is certainly possible that this trend can be linked to Russia's rapprochement with Iran and a visit to Tehran." "They have aggressive capabilities in favor of the war in Ukraine."

Despite the dramatic statement from the Russian Ministry of Justice, Magen remains skeptical about the reality of things: "Nevertheless, it is important to note that in the end the Russians' move against the agency may not lead to practical steps, as has happened in similar cases in the past."
