Israeli lawmakers have been formally invited to a Zoom event on Sunday at 6 p.m. where they will be addressed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to Hebrew-language reports.
The invitation sent by Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy states that the call will only be open to MKs and ministers, according to the Kan public broadcaster.
The initial request to give a virtual address to the Knesset was rejected by Levy because the Israeli parliament was heading into recess.
This would not be the first time Zelensky has addressed a country’s lawmakers via Zoom. Earlier this month he held a call with US lawmakers, although he he will deliver a virtual address to Congress later today.
