The main connection is Iran.
Iran funds and supports Hamas for ideological reasons, partly real and partly faked to justify the regime’s continued power. In addition, supporting Hamas allows Iran to project power in the region while maintaining non-plausible deniability that some believe despite the thinness of the veneer.
To the best of my understanding, Iran supports Russia against Ukraine for a different reason, which is that Russia can actually provide material support to Iran, as well as veto UNSC resolutions on Iran’s behalf. This is more Machiavellian than ideological.
I don’t think Russia cares about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict (though I could be proven wrong).
