Israel to continue providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, who is visiting the Czech Republic, said on April 4 that Israel supports Ukraine and will continue to provide it with humanitarian aid.

"Israel supports Ukraine and will continue to provide humanitarian aid," he said, TASS reports quoting the ČTK news agency.

Cohen held talks with his Czech counterpart Jan Lipavsky. They discussed sanctions against Iran, among other things.

"It is important that we understand at this time that we have to impose further sanctions against Iran, and that would have to happen in June," Cohen said. Earlier, the US and the European Union imposed further sanctions against Iran, as ČTK noted.

According to the agency, the ministers reaffirmed the determination of their countries to develop a strategic partnership during the talks. Lipavsky said it was necessary to expand cooperation between Israel and the Czech Republic in trade, economic, scientific, technical and security spheres. In May, Tel Aviv will host the fourth meeting of the Israel-Czech expert forum, where the main topic of discussion will be energy.
