Likud head of Knesset defense panel: Israel must stand beside Ukraine

A top Likud MK has called on Israel to “stop sitting on the fence” on aid to Ukraine, after a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday.

Yuli Edelstein, head of the Knesset’s powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, is in Kyiv with the opposition’s National Unity MK Ze’ev Elkin.

In a tweet with a photo of the pair’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader, Edelstein says “Iranian involvement is clear” in the Russian offensive, with “Iranian technology and weapons in Russian use while providing Iran with combat experience.”

“Israel must stand beside Ukraine in the face of the dangerous combination of Russia and Iran,” says Edelstein.
