This week is seen as busy with hectic diplomatic activity, but apart from President Herzog's visit to Turkey this week to meet with President Erdogan, these are idle political campaigns.
US Secretary of State Blinken spoke on Sunday about an effort to transfer fighter jets to Ukraine in a way that Poland supplies the equipment and the US pays for the planes it shipped for it. "We let our politicians avoid doing things that are not tactically effective, and certainly avoid doing things that could lead to miscalculation or escalation."

This is good advice for politicians not only in the UK, but also in Israel.
In light of Putin's goals and those of the Americans in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, great doubts arise as to the usefulness of Bennett's trip to Moscow on Saturday.
This is the second time that Putin has caused the Israeli prime minister to desecrate Shabbat.
This is not accidental.
Although Russia's military moves are slow and cumbersome and are suffering serious losses, the humanitarian corridor struggle points to one of Russia's goals: mass ethnic cleansing that could reach several million.
On the other hand, time is also needed for Americans.
Their speakers are talking about defeating Putin.
It could have a free translation: overthrowing his rule.
Meanwhile, rising oil prices to $ 130 a barrel are turning sanctions into a boomerang against the West.

In this terrible situation, that the two sides conducting the confrontation need a long schedule, the talk of a ceasefire or an agreement to end the war is just a smokescreen;
They are part of every military campaign today that is accompanied by efforts to gain international and domestic legitimacy.
Naftali Bennett finds himself in the middle between Germany and Russia and between the United States and Russia. This is not the place Israel should be.
It is a bloody game of cynical and ideological considerations.
For three days now, a video has been circulating on the Internet of the Russian representative Ulyanov in negotiations in Vienna on the nuclear agreement.
He talks about the fact that through his mediation Iran has achieved much more than it dreamed of.
U.S. commentators talk about the Americans' urgent need for a source of alternative oil to fill the skyrocketing market demand. The Biden administration, addicted to the Democratic Left in the Democratic Party, cannot change its policy against producing oil and gas at home. The existential threat to Israel.This is what Bennett had to fight for, but the current government did not step up to stick sticks in the wheels of the Biden administration, John Kerry and Rob Mali.
In the meantime, Israel can concentrate on absorbing immigration and shielding the eyes of viewers at home from the developments that are strengthening Iran.
It is better for politicians - from the prime minister and staff - to refrain from becoming part of Putin's plans, in whose honor the Hague tribunal has already convened.
