The Jewish state’s neutrality over the war in Ukraine may be fraying
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskUntil Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in February, relations had been good. Even after Russia sent an expeditionary force to Syria in 2015 to prop up the then failing regime of Bashar al-Assad, a modus vivendi was soon agreed upon. Despite occupying Syrian air space, Russia let Israel continue to bomb Syria’s Iranian allies fighting for Mr Assad on the ground.
The Kremlin says that the order to close the Jewish Agency was not political but simply a legal issue. Russia’s authorities claim that the agency has broken local laws by collecting information on Russian citizens. The Israeli government is sceptical. “Legal issues like these have been cleared up quietly and without making headlines in the past,” says a senior official in Jerusalem.
Israel’s past two prime ministers, Naftali Bennett and Binyamin Netanyahu, have been studiously neutral towards Russia. But in April Yair Lapid, then the foreign minister, roundly condemned Russia’s war crimes near Kyiv. Since he became prime minister on July 1st, he has shown no eagerness, unlike his predecessors, to set up a meeting or phone-calls with Mr Putin. The Jewish Agency’s troubles in Russia may have been a warning shot by Mr Putin to keep Mr Lapid in line.
