talk to iran. russia contacted israel as well as it talks to asad and the government in tehran and that signifies a major russian victory and it's something we have to keep in mind because syria is not the only place in the middle east. moscow is increasingly active across the middle east, and what it does in syria and people in moscow know this, it's going to have reverberations across the entire region, maybe even beyond the middle east. today moscow holds the balance between iran and israel. it is endeavoring tactically to wind up the war, finish the military victory which it is almost complete, and create the basis for a durable, political order in syria whereby asad will rule the country, perhaps with a modified constitution, but with substantial russian presence and iranian presence in syria, but not a presence that antagonizes israel to the point where it feels that it has to go to war or undertake military strikes against iran because russia does not want to see another israeli arab war or an israel iran war for many reasons. first of all i think they believe iran would los

support one side or another. russia can talkk to israel and to the government and tehran. that iss supervised with a major victory and something we need to keep in mind moscow is increasingly active in people and moscow know this there will be i reverberation through the entire region. today we hold the balance between iran and israel. tactically to wind up war finished the military victory which is almost complete for the durable political order in. perhaps with the modified constitution but with a russian person and the iranian president in syria but not to where it feels it has to go to war to take strikes against iran it does not see to have another war for many reasons. they believe that iran would lose and second they are afraid any kind of war would bring to the area and everything they have carefully built up and third to put the future of the government at great risk and forth moscow does not have the means to sustain long-term operation and united ease -- in the middle east against the united states would much rather exploit conflict rather than stand on this highlighted

i did states is there israel obviously there is also an international community and you cannot say that it has entirely turned a blind eye to what has happened and number of countries have recalled their ambassador is the un human rights spokesman called the monday violence appalling a deadly the europeans including the russians expressed condemnation do you think though this reaction is proportionate to what has happened as you pointed out more than sixty people killed on the one day and more than twenty seven hundred injured well first of all we appreciate the support of the international community to support those countries will stood tall and stood trial there to shoulder with the palestinian people and their moment of sadness and darkness and also told to to condemn the masses really massacres and war crimes being committed here and that i think the majority of the nations of the earth have expressed their mission of such acts then out of the condemnation what do we do about it what do we do about it snaps since march thirtieth to now we have hundred and four palestinian kille
