Bennett told Putin about his contacts with other heads of states, and Putin shared his assessments of talks between Russian and Ukrainian representatives via video calls, the Kremlin said in a statement.
A senior Israeli official said Bennett’s conversation with Putin lasted 90 minutes, with discussions focusing on cease-fire talks and humanitarian issues. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatic matters.
Bennett has visited Moscow for talks and has had numerous phone calls with Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Western leaders as he seeks to mediate an end to the war in Ukraine.
Israel is one of the few countries to have good working relations with both Russia and Ukraine, though in recent days Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has become increasingly outspoken in his condemnations of Russia’s invasion of its western neighbor.
wasting his time “talking” to a murderer – someone in Russia needs to get rid of him
putin’s a killer. we might have given him the benefit of doubt, not anymore, he has shown his true colors, at this point he the one of the worst actor on the world stage on par with kin Jung un and the leaders of iran, only more dangerous.
Putin has threatened NUCLEAR WAR. He’s threatened neutral Finland and Sweden. He has authorized the execution of foreign aid workers in Ukraine. What else do we need to see?
Even murderers are ready to make a deal so let the talking continue, it could only help.
a guy that relies on Hamas for his coalition is telling Putin to not rely on Chechens for his power.
I doubt he wastes so much time in mids of a war, talking to a besieged PM, who has very little to offer.
However, it’s possible that they are discussing selling arms or tactics to Russia.
