Israel refuses Russian grain, including that stolen from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, and changes its grain course under pressure from Washington
Israel’s decision to stop importing Russian wheat — including grain exported from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine — goes far beyond a trade dispute.
