"It's already on," Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the US Secretary of Defense, told Sputnik. "It's already going to be on. I'm sure [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky realizes that the US is much more favorable toward Israel because of the number of Jewish Americans in the United States and the Jewish lobby in Congress, it's quite extensive. Ukraine doesn't have that kind of a representation in the Congress. American people do not want a war with Russia. So that's basically what would occur if we continued unabated any assistance to Ukraine. So for the White House, it's at a very serious crossroads in geopolitical thinking on what direction we go. And I think we're going to be seeing a competition between the two for assistance. We have ironclad commitments with Israel in terms of Iron Dome. We help them develop it, in fact."
