Israel\u2019s Foreign Minister, in response to Ukraine&#8217;s accusations of stealing a wheat shipment, urged Kyiv to present any evidence through official and legal channels. He emphasized that, to date, no documentation has been provided by Ukrainian authorities on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>Gideon Sa&#8217;ar stated that Israel adheres to the principles of law and that the claims made should be pursued via proper official institutions. These remarks came after Ukraine accused Israel of involvement in the transfer of a grain ship linked to Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli Foreign Minister also addressed the situation in Lebanon, claiming that Israel has no intention to expand its military presence or occupy Lebanese territory. According to him, Israel\u2019s military operations on Lebanese soil are defensive in nature.<\/p>\n<p>Sa\u2019ar further noted that if Hezbollah\u2019s infrastructure in southern Lebanon is dismantled, there would be no need for Israel\u2019s ongoing military presence in those areas.
