Arguing that Jerusalem and Kyiv face the same enemy, Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel praises Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel’s proposal to give any Russian-made weapons seized by the IDF in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip or the West Bank to Ukraine.
“I welcome the proposal and hope that the State of Israel approves it,” says Yevgen Korniychuk in a statement.
“The weapons made in Russia, which are in the hands of the terrorist organizations, prove that Russia supports and encourages Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas and all those who aim to kill Israeli citizens and soldiers,” he continues.
“What else needs to happen in order for the State of Israel to wake up and realize that Russia acts aggressively against Israel behind the scenes, through the partners of the axis of evil, and that Ukraine and Israel are exactly fighting the same enemies.”
Successive Israeli governments have refused to send arms to Ukraine throughout the war and despite Haskel’s proposal there is no indication that policy is going to change.
