Cabinet to weigh sanctions against Russia for first time since invasion

One scenario that might potentially need to be addressed, for instance, is how to prevent sanctioned Russian oligarchs from using Israel as a financial safe haven for their assets.

As things stand, the network says, there is no legislation that would prevent oligarchs with Israeli citizenship from putting their money into bank accounts here.
