Israel has decided to send a delegation to Russia to ensure the continuation of the Jewish Agency's activity in Russia, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said.
The statement said, Lapid assessed the situation with representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Security Council, adding that it has been decided that delegations from the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration would be sent to ensure the continuation of the Jewish Agency's activities in Russia.
"The Jewish community in Russia is deeply connected with Israel. Its importance arises in every diplomatic discussion with the Russian leadership. We will continue to act through diplomatic channels so that the Jewish Agency's important activity will not cease," the statement quoted Lapid as saying.
