Liberman hopes Putin will visit Israel in May
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, who is on a trip to Moscow, says “Israel hopes Russian President Vladimir Putin can come on an official visit of Israel in May,” Liberman tells the Itar-Tass news agency.
“We hope Putin will be able to come. By early May we will have established a new government,” Liberman says. Asked about a visit by Netanyahu to Russia, Liberman says the prime minister will “certainly” visit, “but it will happen only after the election.”
