If there’s a ‘good cop, bad cop’ routine happening at the Kremlin, mostly assuredly the role of bad cop always falls to Russia’s former president, Dmitry Medvedev. In his maximalist and hyperbolic threats, he can be seen as the “John Bolton of the Kremlin”.

He has stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is “sustained by war” – which is a bit of rare high level moment of the Kremlin lashing out at Israel.

“An unstable agreement easily explodes with new strikes on Lebanon or other provocations. And that’s exactly what the Netanyahu cabinet, which is sustained by war, needs. So, expecting peace is rash,” Medvedev stated Saturday.
