Israel Ambassador Denounces Russian War Crimes

· Leave a Comment

Israel’s ambassador to Ukraine denounced the killing of civilians in a Kyiv suburb as a “war crime” on Sunday, in a break from the more restrained rhetoric exhibited by Israeli officials since Russia invaded the former Soviet republic just over a month ago, Haaretz reports.

However, the Israeli Foreign Ministry quickly clarified the Ukraine envoy’s comments saying it is not an official position: “It’s a tweet by the ambassador regarding the photos. He didn’t blame Russia.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
