Israelis Support Ukraine But Are Wary of Provoking Russia
(Washington Post) Shira Rubin - On the ground, Israel stands with Ukraine. Israeli medics are offering services to refugees across the Ukrainian border, Israeli phone companies are providing free credits to Ukrainian citizens to get in touch with their family, and Israeli tech companies are assisting with evacuating Ukrainian employees. On Saturday night, thousands of Israelis marched through Tel Aviv calling for the end to the Russian assault, as City Hall was lit with the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag. "The heart of the Israelis is with Ukraine, no question," said Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Yaakov Amidror, a former Israeli national security adviser. But "we need freedom to act in Syria, to contain the Iranians. We cannot ignore the fact that they [the Russians] are there."
