Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett did not advise Vladimir Zelenskyy to accept Russia's proposals to end the war.
This was stated by the adviser to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podoliak.
"Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, as well as the other countries - conditional intermediaries - absolutely do not offer Ukraine to agree to any requirements of the Russian Federation.
PM of 🇮🇱 @naftalibennett, just as other conditional intermediary countries, does NOT offer Ukraine to agree to any demands of the Russian Federation. This is impossible for military & political reasons. On the contrary, Israel urges Russia to assess the events more adequately.

This is impossible for politico-military reasons. On the contrary, Israel offers Russia to assess events more adequately," - he wrote on his Twitter.
In recent days, Bennett has been trying to play the role of mediator between Ukraine and Russia. He was in Moscow, where he held talks with Vladimir Putin and spoke to Zelenskyy more than once on the phone. Those efforts have not yet produced concrete results.
Earlier, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid condemned the Russian attack on the Jewish cemetery near the Holocaust memorial that has happened during the shelling of the Kiev TV Tower on March 1. Five people were killed during this shelling.
