After a visit to Moscow, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett discussed the Ukraine conflict with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) in Berlin on Saturday evening.
"The focus of the 90-minute conversation was the results of the conversation that the Prime Minister had with Russian President (Vladimir) Putin in Moscow on Saturday," said government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit on Sunday night.
We want to keep in touch on the matter.
The common goal remains to end the war in Ukraine "as soon as possible," the statement said.
"We will work on that with all our might."
Scholz had only visited Jerusalem three days ago.
Bennett previously met with Kremlin chief Putin in Moscow on Saturday to discuss the Ukraine war.
Israel could act as a mediator
Government circles in Jerusalem said the talks between Putin and Bennet in the Russian capital lasted three hours.
Bennett has coordinated with the US, Germany and France and is "in constant communication with Ukraine".
According to sources in Jerusalem, Bennett also called Volodymyr Zelenskyy after meeting Putin.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian President also called US President Joe Biden on Sunday night.
Israel is being discussed as a mediator in the Ukraine war.
According to media reports, a few days ago Selenskyj asked Bennett to organize negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Israel.
Israel has good relations with both countries, but also finds itself in a conflict.
It does not want to upset its main ally, the United States, but at the same time depends on Moscow's goodwill for strategic reasons, including in the conflicts with Syria and Iran.
