Israeli media said that the draft resolution Russia is preparing to present to the UN Security Council is a very extraordinary move.

This initiative by Russia follows an attack that took place on Damascus international airport on June 10, 2022.

Israeli Kan's political affairs expert Gili Cohen said that the major issue about the draft was that it said the actions of the Israeli Air Force are not only affecting civilian air traffic, but also international air traffic, adding that after the Israeli attack, Damascus International Airport was rendered inoperational, and flights were diverted to another airport.

Cohen further declared that Russia's criticism is scathing, and shows that the attack on Damascus Airport was not going to pass without any repercussions.

She also reported senior Israeli officials as saying that this latest Russian move comes as a form of political payback for "Israel's" support for Ukraine against Russia.

Russia's draft resolution says that "Israel" has violated international law with this strike, is destabilizing the region, and is violating the sovereignty of Syria, as well as other countries'.
