Senior members of the coalition have warned Prime Minister Bennett against his mediation efforts between Russia and Ukraine, Channel 13 news reports.
The unsourced report says the coalition members stressed it could be “extremely dangerous” to be associated in any kind of mediation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and say that it looks “increasingly the case now.”
The network notes that Zelensky is winning world public support with parliamentary appearances worldwide, and any international player seen helping Putin achieve anything at all from the war will be damaged if there is an eventual agreement.
If the mediation efforts fail, Bennett risks being seen as part of the failure, and as someone who helped enable Putin to mislead the world while continuing the war, the network adds.
