TEL-AVIV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 19th January, 2022) Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's press office told Sputnik on Wednesday that it is not commenting on reports about a proposal to hold the Russia-Ukraine summit in Jerusalem.

Earlier in the day, Axios reported, citing sources, that Bennett proposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin in October 2021 to host the Russia-Ukraine summit in Jerusalem.
