At a closed session of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is favorably considering an invitation from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to visit Kyiv, the Walla news site reports.
“There’s no date, but there’s a good chance that it’ll happen,” Cohen is quoted as saying.
The reported remarks Cohen said the Foreign Ministry intends to summon Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk for a reprimand in the coming days, after the envoy slammed Jerusalem’s stance toward Moscow and accused it of working closely with Russia.
