Russia's warning shot towards Israel PM? Jewish Agency battle explained

Moscow criticised Israel's 'biased, anti-Russian' stance on the war in Ukraine. Russia recently moved to close an agency that processes Jewish immigration to Israel. However, Kremlin said the move against Jewish agency shouldn't be 'politicised'. Israeli PM Lapid warned - shutting the agency would have 'serious' consequences. Today, Lapid's office said that he & Putin had exchanged 'written greetings'. Kremlin & the Foreign Ministry seem keen to minimise the diplomatic repercussions.
