Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk says.
The planned meeting comes after the two leaders spoke last week by phone amid tensions between the countries, Korniychuk tells the Ynet news site.
Ukraine is angry over Israel’s limited, non-military support and ongoing close ties with Russia.
The countries are also at odds over the treatment of Ukrainian refugees and Jewish pilgrims heading to Ukraine.
