The American publication The Washington Post reported a tense incident in Washington. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during their simultaneous visits to the US, crossed paths at a memorial ceremony, where, judging by the video footage, they may have exchanged sharp remarks. The official visits of both leaders to the American capital coincided, creating a 'zero-sum game' situation for allies regarding the allocation of military resources. The discussion was prompted by a video published by Israeli journalist Noga Tarnopolsky. The footage shows the leaders engaged in a serious and emotional dialogue during the memorial service. Official agencies of both countries refrained from commenting. Earlier, Haaretz reported a failed bilateral meeting between the politicians: the sides disagreed on who initiated the talks and why they did not take place. This event marked the first personal contact between Zelensky and Netanyahu in three years. Despite the apparent intensity of the discussion, the conversation ended on a peaceful note: the leaders exchanged smiles and shook hands.
