The parties discussed the impact of the Hamas attack on Israel on the security situation in the region and beyond.
The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky spoke on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu. The head of state announced this on Telegram on Sunday, October 8.
The Prime Minister of Israel spoke about the situation in the country and the actions of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies to repel the attack by Hamas.
“We stand in solidarity with Israel, which is suffering from a heinous large-scale attack, and we sympathize with the many victims. The cooperation between the Israeli police and Ukrainian diplomats on the security and protection of Ukrainian citizens in Israel is important now. We discussed the impact of the attack on Israel on the security situation in the region and beyond its borders,” the president emphasized.
Netanyahu on social media X reported phone conversations with foreign leaders.
“I spoke with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. They all expressed unconditional support for Israel’s right to defend itself if necessary,” he says.
Let’s remember that on October 7, Hamas militants carried out a massive rocket attack on Israel and entered its territory. In response, the Israeli army announced the start of Operation Iron Swords and attacked the group’s targets in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military-political cabinet declared a state of war.
Hamas attacks in Israel have killed more than 600 people. It is known that among those killed in Israel there are two citizens of Ukraine.
