A senior Israeli official said that in Bennett’s call with Putin, the prime minister said that “Israel is ready to assist as much as required and at any time in order to help resolve the crisis and bring the parties closer.
“This is due to Israel’s special status and good relations with all parties,” the official said, adding that “the two leaders agreed to maintain continuous contact between Russia and Israel”.
In an earlier announcement regarding a humanitarian aid shipment to civilians in Ukraine caught up in the fighting, Bennett described Israel’s response to the crisis as “measured and responsible”.
Israel has sought to preserve its delicate security cooperation with Moscow, given the large Russian military presence in Syria, where Israel conducts regular airstrikes on what it calls Iran-linked targets.
