Israel’s ambassador to Russia: We are not going to start a war with Iran

12.10.2023, Moscow.

Israel has no plans to go to war with Iran, Israeli Ambassador to Moscow Alexander Ben Zvi told reporters on October 12.

“We are not going to start a war against Iran,” Ben Zvi said.

At the same time, the representative of the Israeli diplomatic department added that Israel is ready to respond in case of approaching its borders.

The main task of the Israel Defense Forces is to destroy Hamas. The main problem is to save the lives of the hostages who are being held captive, Ben Zvi said.

At a briefing on October 11, the ambassador found it difficult to say how long the current hot phase of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will last and noted that now is not the time to discuss the creation of two states.

“It is good to propose negotiations, but we have to live with the realities that exist now,” Ben Zvi explained.
