Russia slams Israel for ‘provoking Iran’
In February, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, told the General Assembly that Russia was “deepening its ties with global forces of destabilization, chiefly Iran.” Erdan’s comments “came ahead of the parley” that Moscow was about to hold with Palestinian factions, including Hamas.

France: Telegram founder’s arrest causes protests in Russia and UAE demands for consular services
Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s arrest in France is causing global turbulence, which attests to the importance of his platform.

Russia: Islamic authorities in Dagestan ban full-face veil after jihad massacres
In Dagestan, which is overwhelmingly Muslim, one can acknowledge that the niqab poses a security risk. But to say such a thing in the West would be racist and “Islamophobic.” “Islamic authorities in Russia’s Dagestan ban full-face veil after attacks,” Reuters, July 3, 2024: MOSCOW, July 3 (Reuters) – Islamic authorities in Russia’s mostly-Muslim North […]
Russia: Several Dagestan jihadis found to have ties to top officials
Sergei Melikov can investigate Dagestan’s officials all he wants, and fire people and hire new ones, but it will be extraordinarily difficult for him to root out all the jihadis and jihad sympathizers in the government and bureaucracy.
