Bennett’s office also released a statement saying: “Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin this afternoon. The two discussed the situation between Russia and Ukraine.”a diplomatic source as saying: “Israel is willing to help if it is asked and at any time to settle the cross and bring the sides together.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomes Israeli counterpart Isaac Herzog ahead of their meeting at Mariinskyi Palace in Kiev on October 5, 2021. According to the Kremlin readout, Putin told Bennett that Russia had sent a peace delegation to Gomel in southern Belarus to conduct talks with Ukraine but that so far the latter has refused to sent representatives since Belarus is a Russian ally.
At Sunday’s cabinet meeting, Bennett maintained that Israel is behaving in a “measured and responsible way.” Israel has been cautious about taking sides, since Jerusalem coordinates its military strikes on Iranian targets in Syria with Moscow, given the latter’s heavy military presence there.
