Israel and Ukraine: A Marriage of Convenience, On Life Support Zelensky toured the Middle East and skipped Israel. That omission says more than any photo op ever could. The relationship has settled into a cold, awkward transaction: Kyiv wants real help, Jerusalem wants strategic flexibility, and neither side wants to say the quiet part out loud. Israel gave Ukraine hospitals, water gear, and warning systems. Kyiv wanted weapons. Instead, it got caution, delays, and the eternal excuse of not wanting to upset the Russian bear. So much for the grand talk about solidarity. Now Netanyahu wants to talk Iran, because suddenly Ukraine’s experience with drones and air defense looks useful again. That is the whole relationship in one sentence: Ukraine is remembered when it can be of service, ignored when it asks for more than sympathy. The awkward truth is that this was never a clean alliance. It was overlapping interests dressed up in moral language, and the costume is starting to tear. Kyiv learned that Israel’s “balance” with Moscow comes with a price tag. Jerusalem learned that Ukraine keeps score. #Israel#Ukraine#Zelensky#Netanyahu#Russia#MiddleEast#war#diplomacy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
