“I can’t comment on the decision of the Minister of Justice, which was announced through the press, we did not see the text,” RIA Novosti quoted RIA Novosti as saying.
At the same time, he noted that, “unfortunately, in the modern world, including Israel, it is becoming a kind of practice to pass some decisions in parallel or even in advance through the press.”
“We will carefully study, see, but my first reaction is that this is an absolutely unacceptable decision, which has no legal and political grounds,” the ambassador added.
Earlier, Israeli Justice Minister Amir Ohana signed a permit to extradite Burkova to the United States.
