How Chinese-Russian influence shapes the Palestine-Israel issue
China and Russia have long been supporters of Palestine; however, recently, they are being seen in a new and quite different role. Since the recent war in Gaza began about a year ago, they have intervened as mediators in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

These groups also held a meeting in Moscow in February for a similar agreement.
