Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is “in shock” at Israel’s failure to give Kyiv anti-missile systems to help counter Russian attacks.

The president has been asking for the weapons since shortly after the war started in February. Zelenskyy mentioned Israel’s Iron Dome system, often used to intercept rockets fired by Palestinian fighters in Gaza.


“I don’t know what happened to Israel. I’m honestly, frankly – I am in shock because I don’t understand why they couldn’t give us air defences,” he said.

Zelenskyy’s comments were stronger than those he made in March when he chided Israel for its reluctance to send weapons. At the time, Israel was non-committal, saying it would help Ukraine as much as it could.

Zelenskyy made the latest remarks in an interview with French reporters on Wednesday and his office released a recording on Saturday.

‘Stating the facts’
Israel, which has condemned the Russian invasion, is wary of straining ties with Moscow, a powerbroker in neighbouring Syria where Israeli forces frequently launch attacks on what they say are pro-Iranian fighters.


In the same light, Israel sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine and expressed for its people, but the government did not international sanctions against Russia.

Russia in the past accused Israel of ing “neo-Nazis” in Ukraine.

“I understand – they have a difficult situation, regarding the situation with Syria and Russia,” Zelenskyy said, adding he was not making accusations.

“I am stating the facts. My conversations with the Israeli leadership have done nothing to help Ukraine.”

In a phone call with Zelenskyy on September 1, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said he and his counterpart “talked about the fighting situation in Ukraine”, and he expressed his “condolences for the dead and injured in the war”.


Lapid said he has called for “a diplomatic solution to end the fighting” in Ukraine.

When two allies are fighting each other, you try to maintain peace between them, if that option fails, then play neutral . Don't blame Israel for taking the option of neutrality after failing to maintain peace between the warring countries.

this is not the case, Israel was once suspected of leaking secrets from America to Russia, that was the major reason America didn't supply the f22 raptors fighter jets to Israel for fear that they will leak it to Russia even though Donald trump approved its sale. Israel have been having strained relationship with America because they feel isreal was too close to Russia.

Clown Zelensky expect everybody to his stupidity and sellout of his country. He expect Israel to give him weapons when they have a gentlemanly agreement in respect of Syria? Plus the many Russian Jews in Israel?

Zele is truly a clown.

so in your mind, it is only Russia that has nukes . Some of you are very funny, America is the only tested and trusted country in the use of nukes because they are the only country that ever used nukes and the whole world saw the result. When you are dealing with a country that has nukes just like you, you don't behave like Russia, Russia is behaving like an ignoramus.
