Israel rejected the telephone talks between Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, scheduled for October 17. This was reported by the newspaper Haaretz, citing sources Ukrainian.
The publication’s interlocutor stressed that the talks scheduled for Monday were initiated by Jerusalem, which canceled them a few hours before the scheduled time.
Israeli officials have denied this claim.
It was noted that efforts to establish contacts between Jerusalem and Kyiv began a few weeks ago. Members of Gantz’s inner circle said they were important to the defense minister and that he intended to speak with Reznikov in the coming days.

The last time Ganz and Reznikov spoke was in April. Haaretz learned that another interview was scheduled for August 24 and has since been postponed five times.
