Prime Minister Bennett and Foreign Minister Lapid decide they will both attend a video speech to the Knesset by Ukrainian President Zelensky on Sunday.
They make the decision partly because they fear not many lawmakers will attend the Zoom speech and they want to encourage higher attendance, Haaretz reports.
The Knesset is in recess and a number of lawmakers are abroad.
Zelensky will address the Knesset on Sunday at 6 p.m.
