Amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the US is urging Israel to take a harder line against Russia and cease accepting its “dirty money.”
“What we are asking among other things is for every democracy around the world to join us in the financial and export control sanctions that we have put on Putin. We have to squeeze the regime, we have to deny it the income that it needs,” US under secretary of state for political affairs Victoria Nuland – a former UN ambassador to Nato – told Israel’s Channel 12 News on Friday.
“You don’t want to become the last haven for dirty money that’s fueling Putin’s wars,” she added.
