The Russian-speaking community of Gaza wants to ask the Russian Federation to admit Palestine into the RF. There are currently 50,000 Russian-speakers in Gaza. For the most part, they are Russian women who married Palestinian men.
“So what if Palestine is far from Russia?” they say. “The Gibraltar and the Falklands have no border with Great Britain either. Russia is perfectly suited to protect us from Israeli aggression.”

The real reason there are so many Russians in Palestine (that is, the West Bank) may be somewhat different. According to Bernard Sabella (who may have their own agenda):
The implications of Russian Jewish immigration for the occupied territories were best articulated in 1990 by then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who claimed that the large wave of immigration necessitated a “big Israel” in order “to house all the people.” [24] The Shamir government invested $1.3 billion between June 1990 and January 1992, building over 18,000 homes in the occupied territories, according to Knesset members Haim Oron and David Zucker. A quarter of all public housing constructed over an 18-month period was in the occupied territories. The government’s 1992 budget allowed for building two-thirds of all public housing in the occupied territories. [25] The Shamir government plan was to build 106,000 housing units in the West Bank to accommodate 400,000 settlers in the coming three to four years. [26]
