Israel's prime minister said he would send a delegation to Moscow in hopes of halting a Russian order to shutter the operations of an organization that promotes Jewish immigration to Israel.
Lapid’s office said the delegation heading to Russia would include representatives from his office, the Foreign Ministry and other government ministries.
A Jewish Agency official said that Russia has accused the nonprofit of violating its privacy laws by collecting personal information of people who are interested in immigrating to Israel. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the pending court case, said it was not clear why Russia was cracking down on what he described as routine paperwork.
Lapid, who became Israel’s interim prime minister this month after spending the past year as foreign minister, has been an outspoken critic of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
