Yair Lapid: Russians will not evade sanctions through Israel

Israeli foreign minister Yair Lapid has pledged to stop Russians evading sanctions by using the country's economy.

In a statement made after a bilateral meeting with the Slovakian foreign minister, Lapid said: "Israel will not be a route to bypass sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States & other western countries. The ministry of foreign affairs is coordinating the issue together with partners including the Bank of Israel, the ministry of finance, the ministry of the economy, the Airports Authority, and others."

I just concluded a productive work meeting with my friend, Slovak FM @IvanKorcok. We discussed continuing our cooperation at the Vyšné Nemecké crossing between Ukraine and Slovakia. 🇮🇱 🇸🇰 pic.twitter.com/5L5xkg1HV9
