Diplomatic scandal may break out between Ukraine and Israel - mass media

The lack of real military assistance from Israel to Ukraine in the military conflict with the Russian Federation may become a reason for cooling diplomatic relations between the countries. This was reported by NV with reference to informed sources close to one of the members of the National Security and Defence Council.

In particular, the source pointed out that Tel Aviv does not agree to send Kiev arms, and also tightened the norms of stay in the country of Ukrainian refugees, for example, cancelled health insurance at the state level and now those who fled the war must pay for it themselves.

Kiev also suspects Israel that it is through its representatives that classified information considered within the Ramstein format gets to third parties linked to Russia.

It is noted that because of what is happening, visa-free entry to Ukraine may be abolished for Israeli citizens, and the representative of this country will be banned from attending diplomatic meetings of defence ministers in the Ramstein format.

At the same time, the speaker of the Foreign Ministry, Oleh Nikolenko, said in a commentary to the newspaper that the Foreign Ministry had not yet confirmed this information.

We would like to point out that the Israeli Social Security Ministry said that refugees from Ukraine would no longer receive free medical care in the country's hospitals. In addition, medical insurance for Ukrainian citizens over 60 years of age has been cancelled. At the moment, the number of Ukrainian citizens staying in Israel is 14692 people.

As for weapons, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he feared that the weapons that Jerusalem would provide to Ukraine might get to Iran and be used against it.
