Bennett must be reading DIN that suggested that Zelensky surrender to Putin. This plan would prevent bloodshed, and the Uman'ities will be able to return to Uman under the Russian flag. Putin will then have the time to march into Poland, Hungary and Romania.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday spoke to Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, telling him in a phone call that he suggests Zelenskyy surrender, so as to end the war with Russia.
The news initially broke on Friday, and Bennett's office denied the report.
In the phone call, Bennett recommended that Zelenskyy accept the offer presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. That offer included a long and harsh list of compromises on the part of Ukraine, a senior official in the Ukrainian government told Israel's Walla! news site.
Zelenskyy did not take Bennett's suggestion.
"If I were in your place, I would think about the lives of my people, and take the offer," Bennett told Zelenskyy in the phone call, according to the Ukrainian official. According to him, Zelenskyy's response to Bennett was short: "I heard you."
Zelenskyy and his men did not like Bennett's suggestion.
"Bennett suggested we surrender," the Ukrainian government official said. "We have no intention of doing this. We know that this offer of Putin's is just the beginning."
He explained that Bennett is not actually mediating, but rather serving as a "mailbox," sending messages between the sides.
"We do not need a mailbox. We have enough of those," the government official said. "President Zelenskyy's office does not believe that this is the way to mediate. If Bennett wants to be neutral and mediate, we would like to see him appointing someone to work on this day and night and try to reach a compromise agreement, and not only serve as a mailbox."
According to a report by Barak Ravid on Walla!, Zelenskyy and his men are under the impression that Bennett's diplomatic involvement stems mostly from a desire to refrain from taking a clear stance on the Russian invasion, due to fears of harming his relations with Moscow.
"His initiative seems to us as a cover-up and excuse for why he has not come out more harshly against Russia, why he is not providing us with weapons, and why he has not enacted sanctions against Russia," the official said.
Zelenskyy suggested that the negotiations with Putin take place in Jerusalem, and said that Israel can ensure that security is provided for the Ukrainians. Zelenskyy also said that he "hopes for significant and positive influence by Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on the conversations with Russia."
"Regarding Prime Minister Bennett - we in principle and I personally relate positively to anyone's help in the negotiations," Zelenskyy said. "At the same time, I do not relate to Mr. Bennett as to 'anyone,' because I think he has the ability to fill an important role. Because Israel definitely can fill a role such as this (to host the discussions), and especially Jerusalem. I think so, and I said this to Mr. Bennett."
This just gave our enemies ch"v a reason to attack and ask for concessions.
ReplyDeleteThey will force Israel's Bennet to give up land and sovereignty in order to save "lives of my people"
This Shaygetz Zelensky who married his Shiksa in a Church has no business to demand any favors from Israel, under the pretense that his grandparents were killed by the Nazis YM"S.
ReplyDeleteOne of his official shmoigers is blasting ElAl for taking "Blood drenched" money, a newly minted vicious blood label against us, if there ever was one!
Their filthy ambassodor to Tel Aviv (not Yerushalayim, Chass vesholom) complains that he exopected more from Israel.
What did you get for your war effort from your co-murderers in Poland, France and Germany, for whom you did your dirty work in 1941, killing Jews with the utmost cruelty.
We Yiddelach have a 1.5 Million long list of Korbonos killed by your murderous compatriots to demand justice for, before we owe you anything at all.
On one hand, this would end the war. Hand the two provinces the Russians already claim over to them and sign an agreement never to join NATO.
ReplyDeleteBut that would just encourage Putin to notice that several parts of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia also have Russian-majority provinces and decide he wants those too.
