Baraa Shiban, associate fellow with the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, told Metro.co.uk that Russia is only benefiting from the Iran-Israel conflict. He said: "Russia is trying to appeal to the wider Arab community, utilising the high number of civilian casualties in Gaza. We have seen this multiple times – they try to draw similarities between what they are facing, a hostile West, similar to what Israel and its allies are doing to the Palestinians."
