Israel first accuses Russia of war crimes

However, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has been talking today about Russia's war crimes in Ukraine, marking the first time such a statement has been issued since the conflict began, writes Skynews, Klankosova.tv.

“Images and evidence from Ukraine are terrible. Russian forces committed war crimes against an defenseless civilian population. I strongly condemn these war crimes,” he said in a statement.

Likewise during the day, Israel's prime minister, Naphtali Bennett, had condemned the killing of civilians documented in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, but did not accuse Russian forces of responsibility.

While citing Bennett's efforts to mediate peace in Ukraine, Israel also wants to keep channels open for the Russian Army in Syria, where Israel often carried out air strikes on Iranian assets.

We are shocked by the terrible images in Bucha ʹ terrible scenes and we condemn them,” he said.

And we're doing everything we can to help. ”
