Abstract
Ukrainian-Israeli relations have undergone significant structural changes since the start of the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The positive pre-war dynamic of the bilateral agenda has been replaced by neutral words of support from the Israeli government and practical aloofness from the war. During the year and a half of armed aggression of the russian ederation, the government in Israel changed for three times, but each of them maintained a neutral position regarding russia's war against Ukraine, albeit with certain differences. This article is an attempt to analyze the policy of the three prime ministers of Israel - Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid and Benjamin Netanyahu - in relation to Ukraine, as well as to evaluate the geopolitical environment in the Middle East, which is the main factor behind the passivity of the State of Israel in the context of providing assistance to Ukraine. The main focus is on the public reaction, practical steps and reservations of the Israeli government regarding support for Ukraine. The political activity of each prime minister, the internal environment and national interests of the State of Israel from the point of view of decision-making in favor of Ukraine were evaluated. The geopolitical reasons for Israeli neutrality in relation to the russian war against Ukraine are analyzed.
