US, so the statement that Russia helps Israel is not true.
Netanyahu is under political pressure within Israel. His long tenure may be ending. However he will not leave office with Iran remaining an existential threat to the Jewish people and Israel. If he did, he would consider his career a failure and would not have a day of personal peace for the remainder of his life.
If Israel is forced to confront Iran (with nukes now thanks to Obama) in Syria over Russian objection, then the Russians are going to lose a LOT of money in sales, because the Israelis are going to pick apart the entirety of their air defense system - radars, communications and missiles - rendering them as useless against the IAF’s aircrafts.
I think that the Russians know this, and that this is why the 2 countries have been staying out of each others’ way for a while in Syria. Russia may be stronger (esp. when counting its nukes), but not right next door to Israel.
