Israeli MK Amir Weitmann claims Russia has been heavily involved in the war on Gaza, pledging to aid Ukraine if its war extends.

Israeli lawmaker and chairman of the liberitarian faction in the Israeli political party Likud Amir Weitmann has recently implied that the occupation will be funding Ukraine against Russia under speculation of the latter's involvement with Hamas in the Israeli war against Gaza.

Weitmann claimed, lacking evidence or a compelling argument, that Russia was heavily involved with the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas. In a previous October interview with RT, Weitmann threatened Russia with the same claim, saying it would pay the price and that "Israel" would ensure its defeat.

"I understand you're on the Russian payroll and I understand this is Russian propaganda, but you have to be very careful because let me tell you, we're going to finish this war. We're going to win because we're stronger. After this, Russia will pay the price. Believe me, Russia will pay the price," he told RT.

Recently, in an article published for Business Insider, Weitmann said “Israel will take a more aggressive stance against Russia,” adding that if the war on Gaza ends before the Russian-Ukrainian one, then "Israel" would supply Kiev with the necessary munition.

Business Insider commented on Weitmann's remarks and said "Israel" could have potentially incinerated its relationship with Russia by supplying Ukraine with military aid and soldiers to set the systems up. According to the news outlet, this signifies a major U-Turn in Israeli foreign policy that had up until that decision only opted to send Ukraine humanitarian relief aid. 

This comes after Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan admitted on February 27 that "Israel is working to provide Ukraine with early warning systems against missile and drone attacks." Responding to Erdan, Weitmann highlighted that it was not a coincidence nor did it "come out of the blue."

'Israel' aids Ukraine through Poland

Israeli media reports dating back to September 2022 said an Israeli arms manufacturer was supplying the anti-UAV systems to Ukraine via Poland, citing a source in the arms firm, noting that the sales were conducted through Warsaw to circumvent "Tel Aviv's" refusal to sell advanced arms to Ukraine.

The firm reportedly informed the Israeli Ministry of Security that it was selling arms to Poland, though it pretended not to know the latter was then giving the weapons to Kiev to use against Russia.

The anti-UAV systems enable their users to intercept and disrupt drones. Classified as "advanced defensive technology," the systems are not approved for sale to Kiev, though "Tel Aviv" did not seem to be interested in foiling the deal.
