Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Thursday that he spoke with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, thanking him and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for their Passover greetings and expressing solidarity on the fourth anniversary of the Bucha massacre.

Sa’ar said the two discussed the wars in Ukraine and Iran, pointing to what he described as a “dramatic weakening” of the Iranian regime’s military capabilities, which he stressed contributes to European and Ukrainian security.

He added that Jerusalem and Kyiv share a strong friendship and will continue to strengthen ties.
