After voting with the US and Russia — and against Ukraine and most Western allies — against a United Nations General Assembly resolution reaffirming Ukraine’s territorial integrity, Israel says that its position was meant to back ongoing US efforts to resolve the war.

“Israel believes it is important to support the American effort aimed at bringing about progress in efforts to end the war and resolve the conflict peacefully,” the Foreign Ministry tells The Times of Israel.
