Immigration and Absorption Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata says 300 Jewish immigrants from Ukraine are due to arrive in Israel today, including orphans fleeing Russia’s invasion.
In an interview with Army Radio, she also says Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s trip to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimur Putin was the right move.
“It is our duty as a state to do everything in our power to reconcile and bridge between the sides. Russia also has a very large Jewish community and if Bennett can cause Putin to return to the negotiating table, that is welcome,” she says. “I believe we have this ability.”
