Connections are being made between Bibi’s cozying up to Putin, Putin’s reliance on Iranian weaponry, Iran’s state sponsorship of Hamas, and Hamas’s attack on Israel.
Here is Israeli journalist Amit Segal’s assessment of the connections:
אני חושד שההיסטוריה תזכור את המלחמה הזו, בין היתר, כעוד זירה עולמית של העימות בין ציר המערב-אוקראינה ובין ציר הרשע רוסיה-איראן.
לא מבין בזה הרבה אבל לדעתי אחרי הודעות הרשע הרוסיות זה הזמן לעשות מעשה ולהתייצב רשמית וסופית לצד אוקראינה שעומדת לצידנו עכשיו. זה גם צודק וגם חכם.

I suspect that history will remember this war, among other things, as another global scene of the conflict between the West-Ukraine axis and the Russia-Iran axis of evil. I don’t understand much about it, but in my opinion, after the evil Russian announcements, it’s time to take action and officially and definitively stand by Ukraine, which stands by us now. It is both right and wise.
While it is unclear which Russian remarks Segal is referring to, here’s Putin’s most recent statement, which, of course, blames the US for the attacks:
Putin finally makes his first comments on the Israel-Palestine war.
He says it's "a clear example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East" for not "taking the core interests of the Palestinian people into account" and working to create an independent Palestinian state. pic.twitter.com/oJQjs6ax0I

And here is how Bibi ran for reelection:

So Putin just plainly conned Netanyahu.
The tactics of staying neutral regarding Ukraine in exchange for Russian deterrence of Iran and its proxies in the region have failed miserably.
It's now Russia that depends on Tehran – the dirty magic of Putin’s failure in Ukraine.— Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 (@IAPonomarenko) October 10, 2023
