Bennett condemns Bucha massacre, does not mention Russia

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett condemns the killing of civilians in Bucha, Ukraine, but pointedly, does not blame Russia or anyone else for the atrocities.

“We are shocked by the tough pictures out of Bucha, terrible scenes,” he says at an appearance at an army post in the West Bank, after being asked about what Ukraine and others have called a war crime.

“We condemn them with all force,” he says.

He adds there is “huge suffering” in Ukraine and notes that Israel set up a field hospital in western Ukraine, which “all Israelis should be proud of.”
