Under U.S. Pressure, Israel Funded "Strategic Materials" for Ukraine
(Ha'aretz) Yossi Melman - Under pressure from the U.S., Israel recently agreed to finance "strategic materials" worth several million dollars to contribute to the Ukrainian war effort. The payment was transferred to a NATO member deeply involved in supplying military equipment to Ukraine. In addition, the Israel Defense Ministry recently agreed that NATO members such as the UK could supply Ukraine with weapons systems containing Israeli components like electro-optical and fire-control systems. The apparent catalyst for the change in policy was Iran's decision to arm Russia with drones.
