Zelenskyy, reportedly' asked Bennett on Friday' if Israel could serve as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine.
On Sunday afternoon, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett by telephone.
Bennett reportedly offered to serve as a mediator in the war in Ukraine to de-escalate tensions and bring fighting to an end.
The Kremlin has not commented on whether Putin accepted Bennett’s offer.
The call with Bennett then raised yet more questions.
Might Putin be looking for a diplomatic way out of the war in Ukraine, and thus might be inclined to accept Bennett’s offer?
Or is Putin actually doubling down in Ukraine, confusing his enemies by simultaneously showing some openness to diplomacy while also threatening the use of nuclear weapons?

I have said that Russians followed putin because they thought he was leading a wave of Russian patriotism. Putin thought they were following him because he is leading a wave of Soviet resurgence.
Both were wrong.
Some really smart people in that collection. They mostly inspire confidence.
The Israelis that is.
Pulling the nuclear threat is like pulling the divorce card over a spat on what color to paint the house. Irrational and no intention to compromise considered. That is what a weakling who is losing with no place to turn does.
Disturbing. His own people should take him out.
I had hoped we had gone beyond that but as long as there is that option we have not.
I have a gun but I don’t carry. If I load it and carry it I will be intending to use it. If I use it my intention will be to kill. There is no other reason to have it. Brandishing and threatening make too many opportunities for mistakes. All the same with nukes.
“And further should Israel agree to this and in the course of mediation doesn’t favor Putin in the way he’d like.....He could take out his anger on Israel”
They can’t take Ukraine, Russia doesn’t want to screw with Israel.
Putin should get out before his military gets completely humiliated.
...
Indeed.
Hillary chose a side when she sold uranium to Putin. Biden chose a side when she and his son started getting blackmail money.
The American people just want the pipeline reopened and a show of force on the Southern border like Magog on her border
Interesting.
