Israel is too risky for Leviev

Russian Jewish oligarch Lev Leviev buys another building in New York for $200 mil, will invest another $100 mil. In a separate deal, Leviev invests $243 mil in Russian real estate.
Putin chose Lev Leviev to replace another Jewish billionaire Gusinsky as Russia’s top Jew. Leviev had urgently set up a network of Jewish organizations parallel to Gusinsky’s. After Putin ousted Gusinsky, his old Jewish organizations went down. Putin pays Leviev for spearheading Russian interests in Israel with diamond concessions in Russia.
