Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov says Israel should not be worried about Moscow’s increasingly close ties with Iran.
Speaking to the Kan public broadcaster, Viktorov says he “wants to promise that Russia is not against Israel and that Russia takes into account, as in other cases, Israel’s security sensitivities.”
Iran has supplied Russia with hundreds of drones in recent months to be used in the fighting with Ukraine and is reportedly planning on supplying ballistic missiles too.
“Our relations with Tehran are not anti-Israel,” he says, but notes they will continue.
