Article from Russia Today (RT) - 3rd January 2023
Israel signals Ukraine policy shift.
Newly installed Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said Israel is formulating a “responsible” policy toward Ukraine.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen has signaled that Tel Aviv will be making fewer public statements regarding the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, but confirmed that its “significant” humanitarian aid to Kiev will continue.
“We will do one thing for sure–in public, we will talk less,” Cohen said of the Ukraine conflict, in his inaugural speech to Foreign Ministry staff on Monday.
He said that his ministry is preparing “a detailed advisory” to be sent to the new cabinet “in order to formulate a responsible policy.”
“In any case, the significant humanitarian aid to Ukraine will continue,” Cohen added. He also confirmed he would be speaking directly with his counterpart Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for newly reinstated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government told the Times of Israel on Monday that the PM has yet to finalize his policy on Ukraine.
Relations between Russia and Israel soured following the launch of Moscow’s offensive in February. Former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid took a hard stance on the conflict, condemning Moscow publicly and accusing its forces of committing war crimes in Ukraine.
In July, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Tel Aviv of “absolutely unconstructive” and “biased” comments on the conflict.
President Vladimir Zelensky’s government has repeatedly requested more military aid from Israel, specifically in the area of air defense. In November, then Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said the country’s Iron Dome defense systems could not be sent to Ukraine as it does not have a “large enough production base” to satisfy an export market as well as its domestic needs.
Cohen's Monday comment was interpreted by Axios’ Middle East Correspondent Barak Ravid as a sign that Israel will be taking “a more pro-Russian line” on the conflict. International security professor and commenter Max Abrahms countered, however, saying it is not so much a pro-Russia line as a “pro-Israel line.”
Cohen, who was tapped as foreign minister by Netanyahu last Thursday, previously headed the economy and intelligence ministries.
In his speech, the FM also said that Israel’s relationship with the United States “stands at the top of our priorities” and that there is “no replacement for Israel-US ties.”

SUPPORTING SCOTT RITTER
I've been listening to Scott Ritter describe how things are for him and I suspect have been for him for quite some time now.
He has been doing a LOT of unpaid work with a great many interview requests coming in that he has been ready and willing to agree to. But the work where receives some pay for have suffered due to this, being left until the wee small hours of the night to complete work on.
Scott, I think you will agree, has been one of the most influential voices out there on Russia and Ukraine.
I was moved by Scott's words to take an annual subscription to his Substack account that he runs in coordination with his colleague on 'U.S. Tour of Duty', Jeff Norman. This is the main way that Scott recommends to help him with finances with which to upgrade his delivery of comment on Russia and Ukraine, via a better microphone etc. and perhaps the creation of a recording studio in his basement to create a more professional and impressive look. To invest in these things he would like to be sure that this has a viable financial future.
Would you also like to help by subscribing at one of the various levels to Scott's Substack account? I hope so. If so the link is here:
Below you'll find the edited part of the video where Scott talks of his commitments to get the facts out on events in Ukraine and of the finances that would come in handy to enhance their delivery:

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.
