Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy crossed paths by chance before a memorial ceremony for U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham. Their brief conversation drew attention from global media. According to the New York Post, citing Israeli sources, the central topic was drones, particularly FPV drones on fiber optic cables, which are invulnerable to electronic warfare. Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Stefanyshyna, confirmed that the politicians exchanged assessments of the military situation and technology effectiveness. An unnamed Ukrainian official said the meeting was spontaneous: Netanyahu approached Zelenskyy. Sources note that the Israeli premier was deeply impressed by Ukraine's ability to turn the tide of battle through rapid technological innovation. An additional cause for concern was a recent Hezbollah drone attack on an army bulldozer in southern Lebanon, highlighting the danger of new-generation drones. Western media recalled that Israel had previously rejected Ukrainian assistance in this area. When asked about possible technological partnership, an Israeli insider did not respond.
