“Topical issues of the bilateral agenda and the international situation were discussed. The sides expressed confidence that Russian-Israeli relations will continue to develop steadily, and contacts at various levels will continue,” the statement said.
Putin also used the occasion to wish Netanyahu and all Israeli Jews a happy Hanukkah, a Kremlin statement said.
