Israeli Hawk Missiles and the War in Ukraine

The United States has reportedly asked Israel to supply Ukraine with its long-retired Hawk missile defense system, despite the fact that the components of these systems are in serious disrepair and no longer operational. This request places Jerusalem in a difficult diplomatic position. While it wishes to stand with the Western bloc, it must also carefully manage its relationship with Moscow, which has the power to disrupt Israel’s efforts to control hostile Iranian movements in Syria as well as threaten Israel’s open channel to Russia’s remaining Jewish population.
