Israel will join the UN General Assembly resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine, says Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
In a briefing at the Foreign Ministry, Lapid says Israel has a moral responsibility to both condemn Russia and give humanitarian assistance.
Three planes will leave for Ukraine with humanitarian assistance today and tomorrow.
Last week Israel rejected an American request to co-sponsor the UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia.
Lapid said the US “understood” Israel’s delicate relations with Moscow, noting Russia’s military presence on Israel’s northern border in Syria and a large number of Israelis and Jews currently in Ukraine.
