Events in Russia are an internal affair, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday, The Jerusalem Post reports, citing Prime Minister's office.
"While this was an internal Russian matter in which Israel was not involved, Israel would continue to monitor developments closely," Netanyahu said in a statement after talks with diplomatic and security officials.
On June 23, statements appeared on the Telegram channel of the PMC Wagner that an air attack had been carried out on the PMC. The blame was placed on the Russian military leadership. Wagner Head Yevgeny Prigozhin promised to "restore justice." The Russian Defense Ministry denied the attack allegations, and the Federal Security Service opened a criminal case against the Prigozhin on charges of inciting an armed rebellion.
Prigozhin later said he had taken control of Rostov's military facilities, including the airfield. Later, there were reports that all key facilities in Voronezh were also taken under the control of PMC Wagner.
Late on the evening of June 24, Prigozhin announced that PMC Wagner was deploying its columns and leaving in the opposite direction to the field camps.
