Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is looking to give a Zoom speech before the Knesset in which he would present his country’s plight and ask for Israel’s support, according to the Walla news site.
He has given similar speeches before the parliaments of the UK, Canada and the EU.
Kyiv’s ambassador to Israel filed a request to Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy, but the matter may be complicated as the parliament begins its recess tomorrow and therefore a special meeting would have to be called.
Levy has suggested that Zelensky hold a smaller Zoom with MK members that would not be at the plenum.
