The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, urged Israel, Sunday, March 20, to “make a” moral “choice, by supporting his country against the Russian invasion he undergoes. Speaking by videoconference before the parliamentarians of Knesset, Mr. Zelensky has certainly hailed the mediation efforts that the Prime Minister leads, Naftali Bennett, to his incentive, with Moscow. Since his visit to Vladimir Putin, on March 5, Bennett has thus sponsored twice on the phone with the head of the Kremlin, and at least six with Mr. Zelensky.

Faced with Knesset, Mr. Zelensky’s reviews are no longer than elsewhere, but they are dying from a kind of bitterness. To Israeli parliamentarians, this President at War gave a risky lesson, by developing an equivalence between the extermination of the Jews of Europe implemented by the Nazi regime during the Second World War, and the vocabulary of the “solution Final “Faced with the” Ukrainian question “that he receives today in Moscow.
