U.S.: We Appreciate Israel's Implementation of Sanctions on Russia
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The U.S. appreciates Israel's effort to implement sanctions on Russia in light of its invasion of Ukraine, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said following a meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid in Jerusalem on Sunday. Israel has no laws for the kind of sanctions the West has placed on Russia, but the government has taken steps to ensure that the country does not become a haven for those seeking to circumvent the measures. Foreign Ministry sources noted that Russian oligarchs who have landed their planes in Israel have had to leave within 48 hours, and Israelis have been unable to access their funds in Russian banks.
