Honestly don’t know the actual logic was there. Stalin did do a lot of questionable shit after the war though like abandoning Greece, which led to his falling out with Tito and breakdown of relations with Yugoslavia. Seems like he was really keen on honoring whatever deals he mad with the west at the end of the war for whatever reason.
I’ve read somewhere that the USSR supported the zionist entity because they felt it was a form of decolonisation, ending the British occupation is Palestine. Also, back then zionism had some superficially leftist tendencies and there was a widespread belief on the left that the zionist entity would become a “socialist” society.
It was not the greatest moment for the analytical power of marxism-leninism. The communist movement failed the Palestinians.

I’d be interested to know what the actual thinking there was as well.
