Israeli Defence Minister, Benny Gantz

Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz has said Israel would not supply weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia as the eight-month-long war persists.

In the agonies of rocket and drone attacks, the Israeli government sympathised with Ukraine saying it could only help the besieged country with an early-warning system of incoming strikes.

Gantz said this on Wednesday while speaking to a group of European Union ambassadors, according to The Times of Israel.

This is coming a day after Ukraine said it would submit a formal request for Israeli air defence systems like Iron Dome, but Gantz ruled out the sale of such weapons.

Gantz said: “Israel supports and stands with Ukraine, NATO, and the West. This is something we have said in the past and repeat today. Israel has a policy of supporting Ukraine via humanitarian aid, and the delivery of life-saving defensive equipment.”

“This being said, I would like to emphasize that Israel will not deliver weapon systems to Ukraine due to a variety of operational considerations.

“We will continue to support Ukraine within our limitations, as we have done in the past,” he said.

“We have sent a request to the Ukrainians to share information about their needs for air defence alerts. Once we gain this information, we will be able to assist in the development of a life-saving civilian early-warning system,” Gantz added.

Israel’s warning system uses a mix of radar and electro-optic devices to detect rocket, missile, and drone launches, classify the size and the threat they represent, and pinpoint on a map the areas that are in danger.

The system has been credited with saving hundreds of lives over the years during flare-ups of violence with terror groups in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, which have launched thousands of projectiles at Israeli cities.

Yes, pray for them, and give them food if you have.

As for weapons, those who lured Ukraine to war should back Ukraine.
