But, how does a cease-fire in Gaza benefit Putin?

It doesn't. A ceasefire in Gaza means the US wouldn't need to send ammunitions to Israel to massacre Palestinians, freeing more supplies to be sent to Ukraine to fight Russia.

The conflict continuing and spreading across the region and getting the US stuck in the Middle East distracting it from Ukraine though, does help Putin. So, this leaves us with a logical conclusion, Pelosi is either a Russian-asset or just relishes in genociding Palestinians.

However, Israel is buying ammunition (at least with an IOU), whereas Ukraine is just receiving charity. From that perspective, it's easy to see why politicians are more willing to support Israel than Ukraine.
