Against the background of the Russian attack on Ukraine, Brigadier General Ronen Menalis this evening (Saturday) raised the possibility that the parties will be mediated by none other than former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu was known for his good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and also had excellent relations with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalansky, whom he visited in the summer of 2019. "I got to see up close how Russian President Putin listens to the opposition chairman," Menalis wrote on Twitter. If Israel has a chance to influence the event - it is through it.
It will also be a certificate of honor for the Israeli government.
After he succeeds (or, God forbid, fails), we will return to Dumas' affairs. "
The Netanyahu bureau refused to respond to "Israel Today"'s request.
The Israel Defense Forces must appoint Netanyahu as a special envoy to Russia and Ukraine.

Menalis' remarks come in the wake of a conversation between Ukrainian President Zalansky and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, during which the first proposed that Israel mediate between him and Putin in order to end the war.
Sources in the political system say the idea seems hopeless.
Bennett's office said that "the two discussed the state of war in Ukraine. The prime minister offered Israel's help with all humanitarian aid, and updated the president on the steps already taken in this regard. goddess".

A source in the Ukrainian government said that Zalanski's appeal was to the incumbent government in Israel only.
"We do not know about Netanyahu's involvement in mediation attempts, but if there is one it should be done quickly because our people are dying," the Ukrainian source stressed.
Over the weekend, Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgeny Korinchuk told CNN: "We asked Bennett to mediate talks with Russia. They can be held in Jerusalem. Israel is the only democracy that has good relations with both us and Moscow."
