After "Israel Today" was released that details officials warned about the unnecessary talk, there is concern that this will increase the compensation the Russians will ask for a visit to Putin tomorrow • One possibility: Naama will spend some time in prison, not necessarily be released in the coming days - and then go free

    Ahead of the meeting of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Russian President Putin tomorrow (Thursday) at noon, it is believed that the Russian side will expect significant changes for the release of Naama Issachar. That's how "Israel Today" became known.

    Sources in the case say that before the visit or during Putin, he will update Netanyahu about the Israeli young woman's release. However, she will not be released before Putin's visit nor is there any assurance that the date of her pardon will be near. The Russian side is aware of the very high importance of the affair in Israel, partly because of the repeated statements made by the prime minister and other parties.

    Israel has already made two significant gestures for Putin. One is the release of two security prisoners who worked for Syria, but received a very early pardon. The second tribute is the transfer of Alexander's court in Jerusalem to the Russians. In the first place, Russia understood the humanitarian side of the affair and contented itself with the steps that Israel had already taken. Now, the feeling in Jerusalem is growing stronger that Russia is expecting more steps, and it seems that this is due to the widespread discourse in the media and political system, including the Prime Minister's statements, that the Russians understand that the price for the liberation can be raised.

    As published in "Israel Today", a number of official and informal sources, who have been involved in the details of the affair, have been warning about the huddle for several days. Political system officials told Israel today that "if Naama is released, it will add a sweet flavor to the visit and the Russian side knows it. On the other hand, if it is not released then the opposite will happen and it will sadden the visit. The Russian delegation understands the importance of the issue in Israel. Price. The Russians do not like the pressure and sometimes it works upside down. "

    • Naama Issachar sent a letter from the prison to activists for her release: "Exciting me for praying for me"

    • Naama Issachar's mother landed in Israel: "This week we will know when my daughter will be released"

    They added that it is precisely in Russia that the Naama Issachar affair does not arouse interest in the public or in the media. The Russian president will come to Israel this morning as part of the events marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp by the Red Army at the end of World War II. During the visit he will deliver two speeches that will end the Soviet Union's part in defeating the Nazis.

    One speech will be at the main event Yad Vashem, the other at the ceremony's unveiling ceremony for the hundreds of thousands of Russians who perished in the siege of the Germans over the city of Leningrad during the war. The eight-meter-high monument was built in the Sucker Garden in Jerusalem, not far from the Knesset's residence and its inauguration is already arousing interest in Russia.
