The Ukrainian envoy to Israel tearfully implored it to provide more war aid on Tuesday even as Prime Minister Naftali Bennett defended his government's open channels to both Kyiv and Moscow as a means of offering "quiet" help.
While the Israeli foreign minister has condemned the Russian invasion, Bennett's rhetoric has been circumspect. At Kyiv's behest, he proposed Israel mediate peace talks. He has also voiced solidarity with Ukraine and sent it humanitarian relief.
