About as expected, sadly Russia and China likes doing both sides on Palestine. Infinitely better than what Brandon and the west are doing but still, L.
Like, Hamas leadership (and PLO in the 90s) has visited Russia on multiple occasions, so clearly the relations are alright. I do think part of Lavrov's rhetoric mentioned in this article is just diplomatic nonsense.
I so miss the USSR
I wouldn't count out the pressure of dual citizens and interest groups too, it's not like the US is the only place that has an Israel lobby, Russian is spoken by around 1/5 people in Israel, although some of that 20% would also account for Russian speakers originally from other parts of the USSR, that is still a very substantial connection.
Looks like Palestinian liberation forces are armed with Chinese weapons. Remember that Chinese foreign policy is realpolitik, and doesn't necessarily represent their ideological line.
