President Isaac Herzog holds meetings with a series of world leaders on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Herzog met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi and a series of other foreign leaders.
Yesterday he also met on the sidelines of the conference with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani and, during his own session, said he saw “clear potential” for reaching a deal on the next stages of the ceasefire.
The president’s office does not provide detailed readouts of the conversations, but notes that Herzog “emphasized the urgent and critical need to return the hostages held captive by Hamas, and to fully implement all stages of the hostage deal” in each of the meetings.
In a post on X, Zelensky says that he and Herzog discussed “important issues of Ukrainian-Israeli cooperation,” and that he welcomed the news of the three hostages released this week. The Ukrainian leader says they talked about “shared challenges, collaboration – particularly in the security sphere – and ways to achieve a just peace for Ukraine.”
