The Prime Minister’s Office and Foreign Ministry say they are following events in Dagestan and “expect Russian law enforcement to maintain the safety of all Israeli citizens and Jews and to act with determination against rioters and wild incitement against Jews and Israelis.

“Israel takes a grave view of attempts to harm Israeli citizens and Jews anywhere,” they say.

Israeli Ambassador to Russia Alex Ben Zvi is working to ensure the safety of the plane passengers.
