Israel has not supplied Ukraine with any weapons, only humanitarian aid and some defensive systems. Ukraine wants the Iron Dome set up for Kiev. I doubt it would be useful. Kiev is being hit by powerful, long range missiles. Iron Dome is only able to protect against scud-like bombs launched from nearby.
You're right: Zelenskyy refused to vote against the recent UN resolution on Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories despite Netanyahu asking him to do so. I don't think Zelenskyy refused solely because Netanyahu wouldn't give Ukraine the Iron Dome tech or start giving weapons in general. Netanyahu's predecessor didn't vote against Russia at the UN in Feb 2022. In mid-Nov 2022, Israel (along with Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon) didn't vote in favor of U.N. gen assembly proposed resolution to hold Russia accountable for war in Ukraine and paying reparations. Out of 122 U.N. resolutions involving Israel since 2015, Ukraine voted against 95 times, and abstained 27 other times. Ukraine has never voted in favor of Israel on any issue. That history, along with the greater importance to Israel of Russia than Ukraine, seem sufficient reason not to give military aid.
*OTOH, regarding that 12/31/2022 UN resolution for ICJ advisory of Israel, even the Arab countries with which Israel has diplomatic relations (Morocco, Bahrain, UAE, Sudan) as well as Russia and China, all voted against Israel. So... idk but I'm still guessing that Israel isn't likely to send weapons to Zelenskyy.

I find that comment "defensive systems" rich.
At US behest Israel has promised to send Ukraine weapons on multiple occasions, but has been dragging its feet.
I confess, I pulled that phrase directly from an Al-Monitor article.
