Conversation with Yaffa Issachar 2020-01-23 12:10:00 Jerusalem Yaffa Issachar (retranslated): I am touched that you wanted to see me, that you were willing to make time for me. I am very nervous. It is reassuring that you are a friend of Israel and of our Prime Minister Netanyahu. I wanted to say that my girl is so vibrant; she has a light in her eyes. She was flying to Israel to start a family. I am asking you, Mr President, please bring her home. I miss her very much and want to hug her. Over the nine months I spent in the Jewish community in Moscow, I realised how well they thought of you, with great respect. There is no antisemitism or xenophobia there. I realised that this is so thanks to your efforts. This is why you are respected so much. I thank you very much. I am an ordinary person that is meeting with you at the Prime Minister’s residence. I am asking you once again to pardon her and send her home, back to me, because she is my life. I have two daughters, and they are my world. President of Russia Vladimir Putin: I understand. Ms Moskalkova, who works on human rights in Russia, is visiting her today. She will be there today. We will discuss this now. <…>
