"I think that the less we talk, the better, and this will allow the whole issue to be handled correctly. Two, I work in full cooperation with Prime Minister Lapid, in full trust. We work for the State of Israel and for the Jewish people. We cooperate, and where I can help, I will help ".

Earlier today, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs voiced claims that the issue of stopping the activities of the Jewish Agency in the country is related to the legal level only, and has nothing to do with the political differences between Moscow and Jerusalem.

Also, the announcement attacked Israel's conduct and claimed that it was biased in favor of Ukraine. 

This morning, the spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow, Maria Zakharova, said in an interview to a local radio station: "We regret that Israel has chosen an unconstructive, biased and biased position against Russia in the Ukrainian issue. In recent months, we have heard inflammatory and unconstructive rhetoric from Tel Aviv."
