Here's why Israel, one of the toughest militaries, isn't arming Ukraine despite a global push to do so. It's got another fight in focus.

• Israel, a major US partner, has not provided direct military aid to Ukraine.
• The country is balancing Western interests and its own regional interests in the Middle East.
• Russia allows Israel to conduct operations targeting Iran-linked forces in Syria, something it doesn't want to jeopardize.

Since Russian forces launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly a year ago, the US and partner countries have provided Kyiv with tens of billions of dollars in widespread security assistance.
