Israel can't have it both ways... either Israel sticks out it's neck for Ukraine or it lives with the consequences of Russia building closer ties with Iran and Syria.
Iran has vowed to annihilate Israel and, whatever its chances of ultimate success, it has taken concrete steps to do so—including positioning its constellation of “Resistance Axis” proxy militias on three of Israel’s borders, upgrading their arsenals with increasingly accurate and longer-range missiles, and pursuing its capability to reinforce these militias with a nuclear umbrella.

Israel need to be very careful in this conflict. It's actions will have big reprecaussions in how jews are viewed in Russia and Ukraine after the war, being too pro Russia will make Russians feel like jews have betrayed them (which isn't great historically). Israel fights all of Russia's enemies and dislikes Russia, but a lot of Israelis are from former Soviet Republics and many jews still live in Russia, so it needs to have a somewhat diplomatic relationship with it.

Israelis from Russia hate Russia. Israel is worried about Jews in Russia being persecuted.

Yeah I was not saying they like Russia, but just having a large russian population means they need to be civil, otherwise problems arise (citizenship, asset forfeiture, not being able to visit relatives, etc.). I see how the sentence could have been misread, but yeah, either way they can't go full out anti russia.
