An Israeli source told Israel Today that all decisions made by Israel regarding the war are made on the principle that Israel does not stand out.
"We are being dragged behind, and are being deliberately being dragged. This is not an event we should lead. Israel has its considerations, and it should act on them, and not on external pressures," the source explained.
However, it is precisely the two heads of state in the conflict who continue to attach special importance to Israel.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zalansky, spoke last night by telephone with Prime Minister Bennett about what was happening. A short time later, a conversation took place between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Bennett. , Bennett is the one who initiated the conversation.

"I now appeal to all the Jews of the world - do not you see what is happening here? That is why it is important that millions of Jews around the world do not remain silent to these sights, because Nazism was born in silence. Cry against the killing of civilians.

Regarding the war itself, Bennett said that "the situation could be much worse. Israel is on the side of the people in Ukraine and we are determined to do more."
