I know very little about geopolitics. But there have been reports of an influx of private Russian wealth into Israel.

Maybe this is simply too small to matter in the big picture of things, but for many other reasons (as discussed in this thread) I think it's interesting to consider how any kind of prolonged "war" between Israel and Hamas might pressure the powers that be in Russia.
Quote: It’s not just billionaires that are looking to Israel. The country seems to be attracting a broad spread of Russia’s wealthier residents. Israel-based attorney Eli Gervits, who specializes in the “Law of Return,” told Forbes his law firm is seeing 25 times more business compared to before the war. The surge is even greater than after Russia’s annexation of Crimea, he notes. “Almost all of the people that approach us are not from Ukraine,” Gervits says. “They are not from Russia. They are from Moscow,” emphasizing the surge of inquiries from businesspeople from the country’s capital.
