Zelensky to address Israeli lawmakers via Zoom

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address Knesset members via Zoom next week.

The event will be held after an initial request to address lawmakers via video link was rebuffed, officially because the Knesset is in recess and renovations will be taking place in the building.

After an outcry, Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy spoke with Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk on Tuesday and reiterated his invitation to Zelensky to address members of the Knesset via Zoom. The address will be held on Sunday at 6 p.m.

Efforts are underway to ensure that as many MKs as possible will attend the special session next week, even though the Knesset is in recess, the Ynet news site reported.
