Michal Voldiger, the head of the Israeli Knesset's Labor and Social Welfare Committee, has criticized Kyiv for what he perceives as ingratitude. The accusation stems from a recent scandal involving a Russian ship that docked in Haifa, carrying a cargo of grain.

Voldiger expressed his disappointment on social media, highlighting past Israeli support during the early stages of the war in Ukraine. He referenced various forms of aid provided by Israel, including hospitals, ammunition, helmets, and early warning systems. Despite this assistance, Voldiger lamented Ukraine's current threat to impose sanctions on Israel, labeling it as an act of ingratitude.
