U.S. Asks Israel to Transfer Mothballed American Air Defense Systems to Ukraine
Israel, which has only transferred humanitarian aid to Ukraine since the start of its war with Russia, was reportedly surprised by the American request, believing it to be an attempt to increase Israel’s involvement in the fighting between Ukraine and Russia
Israel’s security establishment will examine a request by the U.S. administration to supply Ukraine with mothballed air defense systems to aid in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began almost a year ago.
As first reported by Barak Ravid from Israel’s Walla News, sources in Israel’s security establishment said officials were surprised by the American request, and believe that it is more of a declarative gesture or an attempt to increase Israel’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Defense Ministry emphasized that Israel’s “policy [on Ukraine] has not changed,” and added that “each request is examined on its merits.”
This assessment stems from the fact that the U.S. and European countries that provide military aid to Ukraine are capable of providing much more advanced systems in higher numbers, the effectiveness of which is not in doubt unlike the old Israeli systems.

The Germans held out on becoming directly involved until Biden also promised American tanks- and succeeded in dragging America in.
Considering how much Israel is dependent upon Russia's non-involvement policy on Israeli attacks on Syria - they will be mortified that they have been ordered to come down off the fence.
The mortification of fascists is always to be welcomed.
