In a brief speech before the UN General Assembly, Israel’s Deputy Ambassador to the UN Noa Furman calls Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “a serious violation of the international order” and calls on Moscow “to heed the calls of the international community to stop the attack and respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.”
“Given our deep ties with both sides, we are willing to contribute to the diplomatic efforts if so requested, and have been trying to do so in the last couple of weeks,” she says.
The deputy envoy expresses Jerusalem’s concern over the developing humanitarian crisis, including for Ukraine’s Jewish community, and highlights the 100 tons of humanitarian assistance that Israel has sent to the conflict zone, including medical supplies, water purification systems, emergency water supply kits, and winter gear.
Furman concludes by calling on the sides to choose the “path of dialogue” in order to resolve the conflict.
