WP learned about the harsh exchange between Zelensky and Netanyahu at Graham's funeral

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exchanged harsh remarks during an informal meeting in Washington. The Washington Post (WP) wrote about this on July 31.

The conversation took place at the farewell ceremony with Senator Lindsey Graham (listed as an extremist and terrorist by Rosfinmonitoring). The content of the conversation was not disclosed.

Relations between the two countries remain tense. Netanyahu blocked the transfer of Iron Dome air defense batteries to Ukraine, citing the terms of an agreement with the United States on joint production.
