Russia sees itself as a potential broker between Israel and Hamas.
MOSCOW: Russia said on Thursday it was coordinating its policy in the Middle East and North Africa with China, an increasingly close ally that President Vladimir Putin visited this week.
“There was confirmation of the constant focus of Moscow and Beijing on close coordination of efforts in the interests of a political settlement of this and other crises in the Middle East and North Africa region…” a foreign ministry statement said. Moscow has tried to put some of the blame for the crisis on the US, the most powerful ally of Ukraine, against which Russia began an all-out invasion last year.
