| 2022-02-21 |
| [Jerusalem Post] Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reiterated the government's warning to Israeli citizens in Ukraine, at Sunday's cabinet meeting. "This is not the time to say 'it'll be OK,'" Bennett said. "It's better to be inconvenienced now than to be in real danger later. Come home." Bennett said that "this is a sensitive time for the world's stability," but would not predict what will happen between Russia and Ukraine. Bennett commended the Foreign Ministry's efforts to help Israelis return from Ukraine. The Israeli Embassy in Kyiv opened for four hours on Sunday, a day on which it usually closed, in order to facilitate more Israelis’ departure. Despite the efforts and the government’s entreaties in the past week, only about 3,000 out of an estimated 12,000 Israelis left Ukraine. |
