Prime Minister Naftali Bennett participated in the Cybertech Global TLV 2022 conference at the Tel Aviv Convention Center (Expo) this morning (Thursday, 3 March 2022).
 
Following is an excerpt of the Prime Minister's remarks on the situation in Ukraine from his conversation with high-tech entrepreneur Dr. Michal Mor:
 
"I participated in five or six different conflicts as a soldier, a commander and later on as a security cabinet member. It’s just a horrible thing.
 
“We in Israel have had our fair share of wars, and I can tell you one big lesson: Wars are easy to start and very difficult to finish.
 
“Things are looking bad on the ground right now, but it’s important to understand that if world leaders don’t act quickly, it can get much worse.
 
“I’m talking about untold loss of life, total destruction of Ukraine, millions of refugees and it’s not too late. It’s the responsibility of the major players in the world to act rapidly to get the two sides out of the battlefield and on to the negotiation table.”
