Israel reportedly declined a potential visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his Middle East tour. According to various reports, Israel stood out as the sole country that did not extend an invitation to the Ukrainian leader.
It was noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously expressed a desire to speak with Zelensky by phone but reportedly never followed through. The specific reasons for the alleged refusal of a visit were not disclosed.
Concurrently, on March 26, Volodymyr Zelensky visited Saudi Arabia, where he indicated he had several important meetings scheduled. His diplomatic engagements took place amidst an escalating conflict in the Middle East, including past reports of attacks on Saudi Arabia originating from Iran.
