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.

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."
