Negotiations took place in the Ukraine-Israel-USA triangle. The main topic is the transfer of the Israeli Patriot systems to the USA for modernization and their subsequent transfer to Ukraine. A month ago, Israel refused to hand over the complexes, citing the fact that it was waiting for an attack by Iran. This was not true – the complexes were not removed from conservation. There are two reasons for Netanyahu’s behavior.

Subjective – the Israeli hardly hides his personal negative attitude towards our President for his “special relationship” with Arab mediators.

Objective – Netanyahu has still not severed his ties with Moscow and does not want to endanger Israeli planes in Syria, where the Russians have not yet taken away all their air defense systems. After talks with Zelenskyi, Netanyahu had talks with Blinken. The bottom line is that the first three complexes are leaving Israel for the USA “in the near future”.
