Sa’ar says Israel ‘concerned’ by Estonian airspace violation by Russia

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar expresses concern over the violation of Estonian airspace by Russian warplanes amid the war in Ukraine, in a post on X.

“Israel is concerned [about the] Russian airplanes’ violation of Estonia airspace. These violation[s] together with recent event[s] in Poland might threaten stability and peace in the region and should be avoided,” he writes.

The need to balance security interests at home and policy abroad, while maintaining relations with both Moscow and Kyiv, has produced a relatively restrained response from successive Israeli governments to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

These violation together with recent event in Poland might threaten stability and peace in the region and should be avoided.
