Israel will fulfill its moral obligation in the context of the Ukraine War in two ways: one, logistically preparing for the absorption of Ukrainian Jews - in doing so it contributes more than other countries to dealing with the refugee problem created in Poland, and possibly other neighboring countries.
Second, concern for the security necessity to protect the existential interests of the State of Israel and the people living in Israel - this is a campaign against the Iranians and Hezbollah in Syria, as well as strengthening sovereignty in the Golan Heights.
Israel has no moral obligation to stand up in the organization of Western countries, with the United States at the forefront or in their tail, in their confrontation with Russia. Attachment of the Lapid-Bennett government to the United States since the formation of the government.

No wonder everything now seems complex and complicated.
We got to this point by mistake in navigating.
Former Prime Minister Netanyahu led a new policy that created a historic understanding with Putin's Russia; he distanced Israel from the US administration in the days of Obama to such an extent that it allowed Israel the same freedom of action in the north and also in Iran. Political wisdom saves blood.

"I think the Russians will gradually start behaving in the opposite way as rivals ... I think this is a tragic mistake," Keenan said. At that time no one still knew who Vladimir Putin was.
Biden's America is also an America that has shown shocking weakness in its catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan and in the way it has crawled into a renewed nuclear deal, while removing sanctions from Iran.

Adherence to the failed US policy towards Russia, while facing our main enemy, Iran, is acting against Israel's vital interests. The Russians have already responded to Israel's official declarations in a statement not recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the Golan. A well-known Russian commentator said: Free to liberate the Golan Heights. "It is better to concentrate on humanitarian aid to the Ukrainians and to avoid condemnations - official and political - of Russia.
