Israel has rejected calls by the US to send Hawk anti-air missiles to Ukraine. The weapons were sold to Israel in the 1960s but have been sitting unused for an extended period of time.
The request came as western powers are increasing their deliveries of weapons to Ukraine. Israel has maintained a stance of not sending lethal aid to the country.
Some believe Israel’s refusal to support Ukraine with military aid stems from the desire to maintain freedom of operations in Syria, as Russian forces largely control Syrian airspace.
