What can you infer from this, just in from Haaretz? My inference is that the Israelis think there will still be a Georgia at the end of this. It also provides an insight into how may Iran be armed by Russia against Israel in retaliation.

The Foreign Ministry has recommended a complete halt to the sale of arms and any security-related equipment to Georgia in light of the recent fighting with Russian forces in the Caucasus. This would be a further tightening of an arms boycott on Tbilisi around a year after a decision had been made in Jerusalem to limit exports to Georgia only to defensive equipment.

Israel is concerned that Russia would choose to retaliate against Jerusalem for continued military support of Georgia by lifting restrictions on its arms transfers to Iran and Arab states.

“Israel needs to be very careful and sensitive these days,” said a senior political source. “The Russians are selling many arms to Iran and Syria and there is no need to offer them an excuse to sell even more advanced weapons. …

Last Wednesday discussions were held at the Foreign Ministry on the crisis in South Ossetia. At the end of the meeting a decision was made to recommend to the Defense Ministry that Israel would avoid the sale of any military equipment to Georgia because the country was now a “combat zone.”

The Foreign Ministry also recommends that the issue be revisited after the situation stabilizes and the fighting ceases. …

the security ties between the two countries have received a great deal of media attention, in part because of the capture, on film, of a Russian jet downing an Israeli-made drone in Georgian service, and the role that senior retired Israeli officers have played as advisers to the Georgian security forces.
