Despite a request from the Biden administration to back a UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Israel refrained from doing so, two diplomats familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel.

Eighty-one countries signed on to the resolution as co-sponsors, though the effort was ultimately vetoed by Russia.

Israel is one of the few countries that maintains relatively warm relations with both Ukraine, a fellow Western democracym as well as Russia which controls the airspace over Syria.

No that is not the reason; there are Jews in both countries and there is no advantage for Ukraine or Ukrainian Jews, much less Russian Jews, for Israel to cosponsor a bill in the same UN which has demonized Israel for decades.

Biden just sided with Turkey to stop a natural gas pipeline between Israel, Greece, Cypress, and Turkey.

Why would Israel want to do anything to support Biden right after he did that to them, making Israel more dependent on Russian natural gas?

Moscow took issue with Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and Jerusalem, just prior to its attack on Ukraine.
