Israel could provide captured HAMAS and Hezbollah weapons – many of Russian, Chinese, and Iranian origin – to Ukraine, according to Amir Weitmann, head of the Likud Party’s Libertarian Caucus.

While Israel has largely limited its support for Ukraine to humanitarian aid and early warning systems, avoiding military assistance due to concerns over Russia’s reaction, some officials are now suggesting a more assertive approach.

“Israel doesn’t need them that much. Shipping some to Ukraine would be a good idea, and we could probably do this soon,” Weitmann told Euromaidan Press in an exclusive interview.

He emphasized that Ukraine and Israel face a common adversary – a coalition including Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, along with their proxies.

“Russia needs to be punished and finished. We need to show Putin’s regime that aggression bears a price. The West has a collective responsibility to support Ukraine and Israel against these enemies,” he said.

While the Israeli government remains cautious about deeper Ukraine involvement, fearing increased Russian support for Israel’s enemies, Weitmann argues for a stronger stance.

“It’s crucial for Israel to help Ukraine as circumstances allow. We must show our enemies, including Russia, that attacking us – or supporting those who do – comes at a price,” he noted.

Weitmann, who previously warned Russia of consequences in an RT interview last year, maintains his position on holding Russia accountable for its actions against both Israel and Ukraine.
