“I will tell you that she specially chose clothes of national colors of Ukraine. She got off the plane in yellow-blue clothes. It is out of respect for Ukraine, ”Netanyahu said in a video message posted on his Facebook page.

The Israeli prime minister noted that if not for the “incident with bread”, his visit to Ukraine would not have received such wide media coverage.

“If it is required to pay attention to the visit, which brings the agreement on a free trade zone, on the representation of Ukraine in Jerusalem ... so be it ... It seems that we have invented a way to attract attention,” Netanyahu concluded.

Earlier in the office of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, they stated that there was no malicious intent in the act of Netanyahu's wife.

On August 19, in Ukrainian social networks and the media they distributed a video showing how girls in traditional dresses, during Netanyahu’s greeting with his wife, brought a loaf to them at the plane’s ramp in Kiev.

Israeli Prime Minister broke a piece, bit and handed the first lady, but she did not try it and threw it to the ground.
