Israel has decided not to respond to Russian condemnation, according to Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
Moscow strongly condemned Israel and the Israeli foreign minister after Israel supported Russia's removal from the UN Human Rights Council.
The political system believes that the announcement does not express a change in the Russian attitude towards Israel, and that the condemnation is mainly "balanced steam output."
A political source notes that the condemnation was at a relatively low level of the Russian Foreign Ministry's announcement, and not the explicit words of Foreign Minister Lavrov or his deputy Bogdanov.
On Monday this week, at the end of a meeting with the Slovak Foreign Minister, Lapid called for an end to the fighting in Ukraine and condemned the Russian invasion.
"The only thing that came out of it was terrible suffering," he said.
"In recent years there has been peace in Europe, and out has come a prosperity that the human race has never known before."
After Israel supported Russia's removal from the UN Human Rights Council, Lapid stressed that the vote did not change Israel's position on the council, which is "an extremist body, morally flawed, biased and anti-Israel in nature," he said.
