US authorities appealed to Israel with a request not to give Russian oligarchs to withdraw funds, writes Ynet.
According to the publication, there is no legislation in Israel, which allows you to impose sanctions on a foreign private business, so many are already asking Israel to save their money. The United States needs guarantees that “Russian money”, which are under sanctions, will not be in Israeli banks.
Interdepartmental government group is going to consider this question, but Israel promised to do everything so that this does not happen. Yair Lapid Foreign Minister urged government ministers to be careful when receiving requests for help from Russian businessmen who are included in the US sanctions list, even if in the past they donated money to Israel.
