CNN’s Christiane Amanpour slammed Israel for what amounts to the country’s widely misunderstood approach to the invasion by Russia of Ukraine.
While Israel has clearly come out in support of the Ukrainian people, Jerusalem must at the same time navigate a complex geopolitical reality. Russia is the leading actor in Syria, where the IDF must maintain freedom of action to thwart Iranian terrorism.
Nevertheless, Israel has delivered at least 100 tons of aid to Ukraine, including vital medical supplies and various other forms of humanitarian assistance. Meanwhile, Jerusalem has helped rescue thousands of people from Ukraine — including citizens of states that are hostile to Israel such as Lebanon.
CNN’s Amanpour is doing a disservice to the people of Ukraine by vilifying Israel, which is playing a key role in efforts to end the conflict.
