Former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Warns Weapons Shipments Given to Ukraine Will End Up in Iran

No Kidding.

BLP:
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is begging Israel for military aid in the form of sophisticated air defense systems in order to prolong their conflict against Russia.

“Today, Ukraine will send an official note to the government of Israel with a request to urgently provide Ukraine with anti-aircraft systems and to start high-quality cooperation on obtaining appropriate technologies for Ukraine,” Kuleba said, adding that he does “not see any objective reasons why” Israel shouldn’t bail his country out like so many others are doing.

“Iran is a red line for Israel, and after Iran has directly, in fact, become complicit in the crime of aggression against Ukraine, I think anyone in Israel who still has any hesitation about whether or not to help Ukraine, he must dispel these hesitations,” Kuleba stated.

However, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel should not intervene with military aid to promote the conflict. Giving shelter to refugees and providing humanitarian aid is enough, he argues, because weapons funneled to the Ukrainians could easily end up in the hands of the Iranians.

“On the question of weapons there’s always a possibility, and this has happened time and again, that weapons that we supplied in one battlefield end up in Iranian hands used against us,” Netanyahu said. “In the Golan Heights, where we’re trying to prevent Iran from creating a second Lebanon front, a second terrorist front against us, we encounter Israeli made weapons.” more
