Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s top diplomat, said in an interview on Saturday that Israel and Ukraine are similar because both countries are looking to expand their wars in hopes to pull Washington into the conflagrations.
Lavrov told Russia’s RT that it was clear that Tel Aviv is the only party interested in the Middle East for a wider war.
“It seems that the only one who wants such a development is Israel,” he said. “Probably the Israeli government, which is rather hard politics-wise, and they do not even hide that.”
He said it is likely that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government wants to exploit the situation and try to use the U.S. to – once and for all – “try to solve all their problems with Hamas and with Hezbollah, and with pro-Iranian groups in Syria and Iraq.”
