Prime Minister Naftali Bennett demurred when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Israel for military aid, according to a Sunday report. Zelensky asked for “assistance with military implements and weapons” during a Friday phone call with Bennett, the Kan public broadcaster reported. The request did not include any details on specific weapons or equipment, but was more of a general appeal for military help, the unsourced report said. Israel responded with “diplomatic politeness,” and it appeared that the request was not on the table, the report said. Israel has friendly relations with both Kyiv and Moscow, and has been walking a diplomatic tightrope between the two countries during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
