Since the 1940s, the relationship between Israel and Russia has been complex and elaborate. After the new and demanding environment created during the Arab Spring in the Middle East for both states, Russia has become more actively involved in the local conflicts and diplomatic efforts, especially in Syria, and this stuation in turn has had implications for Israel-Russia relations. Whereas Russia perceives that sound relations with Israel are of strategic importance; Israel, on the other hand, grasps the growing importance of Russia in the Middle East, and takes its relationship with Russia as one of the cornerstones of its foreign policy. With this understanding, this paper explores different features of the political relations between Israel and Russia and implications for both states.
