Ambassador explained why Israel would not agree to supply of weapons to Ukraine

Not a single Israeli government will take responsibility of the exiting red lines in relations with Russia, agreeing to the supply of weapons to Kyiv, since no one will intercede in the case of escalation for Israel, the Israeli ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky said the Ukrainian media.

Israeli diplomat notes that Israel is not a member of NATO, “countries that provide the greatest military assistance to Ukraine are countries that are part of NATO, they are defended by NATO protection. Israel is opposed to the aggression of neighboring countries alone. Israel is trying alone Fight terror. Israel all the wars that took place in the Middle East won alone without the help of other countries. “

“Israel acts without going beyond those red lines that can lead to a deterioration in the situation in Israeli security, and in the future can lead to war, death of civilians, the deaths of Israeli soldiers. Not a single Israeli government will go” – said Brodsky.

The ambassador indicated that Russia has played an important role in the Middle East “for several years, especially after 2015, when the Russian contingent appeared almost on our borders in Syria. Israel is obliged to reckon with this factor in the Middle Eastern Policy.” Brodsky also recalled that in Russia there is a very large Jewish community, “about 600 thousand people. We cannot but take into account the well -being of this community when we make certain decisions in relation to Russia. I would call this dialogue complex, but mandatory for Israel And very important for Israeli security “

Note that last week, the Minister of Defense of Israel Beni Ganz said that Israel does not intend to supply Kyiv weapons.
