Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is slated to address the Israeli parliament via Zoom next week, Hebrew media reports.
Zelensky had asked to address the Knesset last week but was originally rebuffed as the Knesset would be going on recess.
But after an outcry, Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy spoke with Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk to reiterate his invitation to Zelensky to address members of the Knesset.
Efforts are underway to ensure that as many MKs as possible will attend the special session next week, even though the Knesset is on recess, Ynet reports.
