Ron Prosor called for an understanding of the reserved position Israel has taken on this issue.
Israel is supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia on a much larger scale than the public knows. This is what the Israeli Ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, said in an interview with Funke Mediengruppe, published on Saturday, January 28.
Israel is helping Ukraine, “but behind the scenes and more than is known,” the diplomat said.
He called for understanding of the restrained position taken by his country on this issue.
“We have Russians in Syria. As you know, the Israeli army regularly intercepts the supply of weapons from Iran to Syria and Lebanon. Among them are Iranian drones and missiles that Russia uses in Ukraine, ” Prosor said.
The second event, due to which Israel was forced to act quietly, he called the presence in Russia of a large Jewish community.
Israeli authorities have repeatedly and unequivocally condemned Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, and on January 19, new Foreign Minister Eli Cohen assured Kyiv that humanitarian aid would continue. In general, however, Israel continues to take a relatively low-key position and categorically denies the supply of arms to Ukraine.
Earlier, Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov said that Israel rejects proposals for cooperation with Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the media reported that the Pentagon is using Israel’s stockpile of US munitions to meet Ukraine’s urgent need for artillery shells.
In addition, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgeny Korniychuk said that Israel is transferring technology to Ukraine related to the intelligent warning of missiles and drones.
