QUESTION 3

In the question of “To what extent does U.S. military and financial aid accelerate/prolong the conflict for Israel/Ukraine?” the views of the respondents are relatively consistent: “For Israel, this aid will help end the conflict faster, while for Ukraine, it contributes to prolonging the conflict.” “U.S. military and financial aid will slow down the conflict in Ukraine and accelerate the conflict in Israel. In other words, in Ukraine, it is a provocative factor (toward Russia, encouraging the activation of its economic and military efforts), while in Israel, it is a restraining factor (preventing other regional actors from entering into conflict against Israel, allowing Israel to focus on the Gaza Strip).” “For Israel, it will help exit the conflict — a path to possible peace. For Ukraine, it is a path to escalation and potential provocation for Russia to use nuclear weapons.” “Military aid to Israel will accelerate the conclusion of the conflict (assuming it does not lead to a global war). And military aid to Ukraine will slow down the process of ending the war.”
