Ukraine's Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk was summoned to the Israeli Foreign Ministry after his recent criticism of the country's policies.

This was reported by The Jerusalem Post, according to Ukrinform.

Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Kornichuk has been summoned by the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry for a meeting on July 3 over his recent criticism of Israeli policies, the Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday morning.

The meeting will be held with Aliza Ben Nun, the Head of the Strategic Affairs Directorate.

As reported, the Embassy of Ukraine in the State of Israel called on the Israeli government to change its position on Russia and support Ukraine with defensive means in the fight against the aggressor.

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country is in a special situation that differs from Poland, Germany, France or any of the Western countries that are helping Ukraine.

According to Netanyahu, Israel is also concerned that any systems provided to Ukraine will be used against them, as they could end up in Iran. In his opinion, the balanced way in which Israel is acting is the right way.
