Big difference. US from 2014 had tremendous influence on the formation and membership of Ukraine's military and government. As a matter of fact Nuland was caught selecting critical members of the first post Maiden government. Israel has had several decades to solidify its independence and run rings around America admins, especially after Golda Meir.
BTW I believe Israel still refuses to give permission for the use of its iron dome.
