Israel has rejected a request by Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk, to block Russian state-run media outlets in Israel, the Ynet news site reports.
Korniychuk and European communications ministers asked Israel’s Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel to block the state-linked outlets, including RT and Sputnik, the report says.
Ynet says Israel responded to Korniychuk by saying the move would have far-reaching consequences, and must also have legal precedent.
