Pressure on Israel to send defensive weapons to Kyiv reached a tipping point after Russia's use of Iranian drones in the war. Israeli minister Nachman Shai said iran's involvement in the war had left no "doubt on the position Israel should take". Ex-prime minister Netanyahu's promise to look into arming Ukraine if elected again complicated matters for the ruling coalition further. As a result, Defence Minister Benny Gantz issued an unequivocal refusal to supplier air defence systems to Ukraine. "I would like to emphasize that Israel will not transfer weapon system to Ukraine due to a variety of operational considerations"- Israeli Defence Minister said.
