Russia warned Israel not to transport the "iron dome" to Kiev: it will lead to the escalation of the crisis

2023-02-03

The Israeli Times reported on February 2 that the Foreign Minister of the country, Eli Cohen, delivered an inaugural speech on the same day to elaborate on the future diplomatic strategy of Netanyahu's government. Kohien said that the current government will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, but will reduce its statements on the situation in Ukraine. According to the Axios News Network of the United States, three Israeli officials revealed that the new government was conducting a policy review on its policy towards Ukraine and the possibility of providing Kiev with defensive weapons systems such as the "Iron Dome". According to reports, Netanyahu said in an interview with CNN on January 31 that he was considering providing military assistance to Ukraine and was willing to play the role of mediator after the United States urged Israel to "more actively intervene" in the Russian-Uzbekistan conflict. Israeli Foreign Minister Koheng said recently that he would visit Kiev soon, meet with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba and reopen the local embassy. This will be the first visit to Kiev by a ministerial-level government official since Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine. It will also be the first visit by a foreign minister from a Middle East country after the outbreak of the conflict. Israel's actions have aroused strong reaction from Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zaharova warned Israel on February 2 that sending weapons to Ukraine would prolong the crisis. She said: "All countries transporting weapons to Ukraine should understand that we will regard these weapons as the legitimate targets of the Russian armed forces. Any attempt to supply more or new weapons will lead to an escalation of the crisis." The "Iron Dome" defense system is a truck-towed multi-mission mobile air defense system developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense System Company with the support of the United States technology, which is highly effective and practical Low cost, very suitable for Ukraine to intercept Russian drones and other air attack targets. In order to obtain the "Iron Dome", Uzbekistan would not hesitate to threaten to vote against Israel in the United Nations. The United States also pressed Israel to provide the system to Ukraine. Qatar Al Jazeera said that after Netanyahu came to power, he changed Israel's position of neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as far as possible and sided with Ukraine under the pressure of the United States, which made the issue more difficult and complex. Traditionally, Israeli-Russian relations have been good, but Israel's current actions may cause unexpected consequences, so the Middle East issue has become unpredictable, more subtle and dangerous.
