Israel sent strong messages to Ukraine over the past day that it will not continue its efforts to mediate between Kyiv and Moscow if Ukrainian officials continue to publicly attack Jerusalem, Channel 12 reports.
The official speaking to the network on condition of anonymity says the message appears to have resonated, as Ukraine’s foreign minister has since apologized for claiming El Al was accepting money “soaked in Ukrainian blood” and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted his thanks to Bennett for the mediation efforts.
