Without mentioning Russia by name, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says that world powers have a “responsibility” to end fighting in Ukraine, at Tel Aviv’s CyberTech conference.
“It’s the responsibility of major players of the world to act rapidly and get the two sides in Ukraine out of the battlefield and to the negotiating table,” says Bennett.
“Things are looking bad on the ground right now, but it’s important to understand that if world leaders don’t work quickly, it can get much worse.”
Bennett has spoken at least twice with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin to offer Israel’s service as an intermediary since the conflict broke out, in line with a request from Zelensky.
