Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak November 13, 2024 on Kyiv Jewish Forum 2024 called Israel to intensify its efforts in supporting Ukraine in the international arenae. He emphasized that with the advent of the new US administration Israel has a unique opportunity to expand its influence and use this advantage to put pressure on Russia.
“Israel will have unlimited influence over the new US administration. I wish Israel would take advantage of this so that we (Ukraine – ed.) did not put up with the Russian Federation,” Podolyak noted.
Ambassador of Israel to Ukraine Mikhail Brodsky supported Podolyak’s opinion, emphasizing that the two countries have many common interests that need to be promoted jointly.
Israel as an example of a tough and consistent policy
Podolyak highly appreciated Israel’s position on the world political arena, emphasizing its uncompromisingness and correctness. He believes that Ukraine can use Israeli experience for its policies.
“Israel is demonstrating what needs to be done. He defends himself harshly and uncompromisingly. This is the only possible model of behavior today,” Podolyak emphasized.
Support at the global level: what Ukraine expects from Israel
Podolyak also noted the need for stronger diplomatic and information support from Israel regarding Ukraine. He expressed hope that Israel will be able to actively lobby Ukraine’s position on international platforms and support its right to protect territorial integrity.
“Ukraine would like to receive stronger information support from Israel at the global level, as well as advocacy for our position in international institutions,” Podolyak said.
Ukraine hopes for proactive advocacy, including support for its right to protection with retaliatory measures, including strikes on Russian territory within the framework of international law.
Mutual cooperation: common interests of Ukraine and Israel
Ambassador of Israel to Ukraine Mikhail Brodsky supported Podolyak’s opinion, emphasizing that the two countries have many common interests that need to be promoted through joint efforts.
“There are many common issues that we can solve together, and I am sure that there is enormous potential for cooperation between our countries,” Brodsky said.
