He explained that this step is in the interests of the US administration in both cases, since, on the one hand, “it helps to strengthen Kiev’s capabilities in confrontation with Russia, and on the other hand, it prevents Israel from striking Iran.”

The report added that Israel’s concern is the depletion of these munitions, while the region faces the risk of war on several fronts amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Palestinian groups in the West Bank and Gaza.
