Israel and Ukraine Unite Against Iran and Russia
Sept. 20-- Israel and Ukraine are joining their genocidal operations at the top. In July, Mikheil Khachidzean, on his blog on the website of the Times of Israel, reported on this marriage for war.
On July 23, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar made an official visit to Ukraine, where he met with NATO's Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss bilateral relations, regional developments, and shared security concerns—particularly the escalating threat posed by Iran. Ukraine and Israel, it is said, are “paving the way for a long-term alliance between two democracies standing on the frontline of modern hybrid warfare.”
The meeting was first disclosed by Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky, who posted details on Telegram. According to the statement, “both sides focused on Iran’s destabilizing activities and its growing alignment with Russia in both the military and geopolitical spheres.” As one of Israel’s most vocal critics of Iran’s influence, Sa’ar has repeatedly warned against underestimating the strategic alliance between Tehran and Moscow, branded as the “Axis of Instability.”
“The Iranian regime is a serious threat not only to Israel but also to Ukraine, especially in light of its partnership with Russia, arms transfers, and proxy support. Strategic coordination is essential,” Foreign Minister Sa’ar said in Kyiv.
According to Ukrainian officials, the security dialogue will involve cooperation “between defense and intelligence institutions” in both countries and will focus on “emerging threats and hybrid warfare tactics” involving Iranian technology (drones) and Russian aggression. Whether that includes coordination in planning targeted assassinations on the basis of Ukraine’s “kill lists” wasn’t specified.
Sources close to the White House say such moves are greeted with alarm by the Trump administration. They say that the U.S. and NATO allies share strategic intelligence with both countries, with the idea that it should not be shared with third parties. In addition, Israeli intelligence agencies have their own strategic intelligence, some of which is not shared with the U.S. The Ukraine might find Israeli intelligence useful in their targeting of Russian military and other figures for potential assassination. The Israelis might also obtain information on third parties, including states other than Iran.
"At a moment when we are attempting to wind down dangerous wars involving both nations," said a source, "this partnership could serve the interests of those in the two governments which want to sabotage our efforts. Their coordination serves only those who want the slaughter of Palestinians and NATO's losing war against Russia in Ukraine to continue and perhaps expand. We will make sure that does not happen. We can do some of that by further limiting intelligence that we share with both Israel and Ukraine, which we are already doing."
Following the July meeting, Ukraine’s acting Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha announced that “the two countries are entering a new phase of strategic partnership.” In 2024, trade between the two countries surged by over 65%, reaching nearly $1 billion, according to Sybiha—a strong indication of untapped economic potential. He emphasized the importance of reviving the “Israel-Ukraine Intergovernmental Economic Commission,” which would serve as a platform for new joint decisions and policy initiatives. One of the most significant outcomes of the visit was the agreement to establish a dedicated security dialogue track—a new framework for coordinating joint responses to regional threats, with Iran at the top of the agenda.
