Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hold a 15-minute one-on-one meeting after the extended working meeting with their respective teams.

The atmosphere as the aides exited the room was noticeably cheerful, with Mossad chief David Barnea speaking at length with Zelensky’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer chatting with Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

According to Netanyahu’s office, the meeting was “friendly” and Israel pledged to continue providing humanitarian aid, including assistance in dealing with land mines.

As he exited the meeting room, Zelensky said to the gathered journalists that the meeting was “good.”

Netanyahu and Zelensky agreed to stay in touch, and the meeting was “serious and comprehensive,” Israeli sources says.
