As the one-year mark of the Ukraine conflict draws near, the impacts of the conflict are widening around the globe. Because Israel has had long-running relationships with both Ukraine and Russia, it initially attempted to position itself as a mediator in the conflict, but, as the conflict has escalated, Russia has started receiving military support from Iran, which has complicated the dynamic. Israel’s own changing politics has also added another dimension to this; while the Lapid administration was attempting to remain neutral, the new Netanhayu foreign policy team has openly voiced support for Russia.
Join us as we attempt to untangle the impacts of the conflict – not just on Russia and Ukraine, but on Israel and the broader geopolitical landscape as well.
