LAZIMA ISRAEL AOMBE RUHUSA MOSCOW AKIINGIA SYRIA
A new problem could upset the very delicate balance that Israel is trying to build in relations between Russia and Ukraine. Recently, there have been many reports that Moscow may use Iranian UAVs in Ukraine. Israel is already trying to provide minimal support to Ukraine while strengthening its ties with Moscow, which it counts on for continued air strikes against suspected Iranian elements in Syria.
But if Iran was directly involved in the actions in Ukraine, this would seriously jeopardize the current position of Israel. In addition, Ukraine's special envoy for the Middle East, Maxim Subkh, is calling on Israeli intelligence agencies, starting with the Mossad, to share information about Iran by opening a permanent intelligence-sharing channel.
Israel continues to carry out airstrikes in Syria, mainly on targets such as Aleppo and Damascus airports, and if it wants to expand its ties with Ukraine, then Russia can cut off vital communications channels between the IDF and Russian troops stationed at the Khmeimim base.
However, according to some sources, the Mossad, led by David Barnea, has already passed some information to Kyiv, and this process may escalate. This is especially true as the Ukrainian authorities, led by Subh, have publicly criticized Israel for not providing enough support to Ukraine. They appealed, in particular, to Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who has openly advocated Ukraine in the past.
In this context, Israel's decision to condemn Russian referendums in eastern Ukraine and its support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity is not enough to satisfy Kyiv's demands. Ukraine does not want to be content with only humanitarian aid from Israel.
Israel's mediation efforts, led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, proved futile. This happened despite the fact that former Shabak General Security Director Avi Dichter leads the Ukraine conflict mediation task force. Dichter visited Kyiv and Moscow in June.
