Israel caused Ukrainian hostility, Russian rage, and American dissatisfaction without achieving any benefit for itself. Although the dimensions of the Russian alliance have emerged, Israel is still refusing to support Ukraine and the USA in the name of fictional interests. Even its neutral attitude towards the Russian invasion of Ukraine was false. Since Vladimir Putin was busy making threats, Israel had no reason to reveal statements that support America and oppose Russia.
Although the USA didn't agree to all the Israeli claims, it treated it as a marginalized state, so America didn't put pressure on it. In the same context, Israel's attitude was not that crucial, and it didn't do anything neutral. Hence, to refute the claim directed at it, it announced that it is a “mediator” despite the absence of its experience in this field, and that it doesn't have any power to force Russia and Ukraine to settle their issues.
The Israeli strategic logic mixes two main principles: the first is the admiration of Putin as a serious and strong leader who belittles America, while the second one is that Putin will manipulate Biden as his army is so strong and advanced. But, despite all of these estimations being false, Israel approved it.
Parallel to Russia's great military failure in defeating Ukraine and the collapse of the doctrine of the great power of Russia, which we in Israel have not ceased to admire, Israel has decided that so far, neutrality is the right policy and that it will not sell weapons to Ukraine.
The United States, NATO and Ukraine will plead for defensive weapons, but Israel will continue to be neutral (pro-Russia). All for what? Because Putin is the anti-Semitic tsar, and that there are 25 Russian drones in Syria. Thus, if Israel sells systems to Ukraine, "this weapon may reach Iran," the same Iran that supplies Russia with missiles. Even this is not a contradiction, this is a complete process of stupidity.
