War in Ukraine, Bennett attempts mediation but Russia angers Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has concluded his visit to Germany and is returning to Israel. With the German Chancellor, Bennett discussed “various issues, including the situation between Ukraine and Russia”, reports the Times of Israel citing Bennett’s staff. The Israeli premier spoke twice on Saturday evening with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, the first while still in Moscow after meeting Vladimir Putin.
The Israeli position on the conflict is peculiar: Israel is the only Western country that can boast privileged relations both with Russia (for historical reasons, immigration and Moscow’s role as a power broker in the Middle East) and with Ukraine (where a community of about 50,000 Jews lives, including President Volodymyr Zelensky himself). For this he tried to keep an open channel with both sides.
According to some media, it was Kiev that asked for a greater Israeli role as an intermediary. On the table with Putin, as Repubblica explains, there was also Syria, dwhere the Kremlin has always supported the Assad regime, and Iran, which is painstakingly trying to relaunch nuclear negotiations with the West. But Tehran itself, Moscow’s theoretical ally, he did not take it well. Moscow’s new demands, which demand written guarantees from the US that the sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine will not affect economic cooperation with Iran, “are not constructive” for nuclear negotiations, an Iranian official told Reuters. .
