Minsk, November 30 (Xinhua) — Belarus is ready for dialogue with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states to ensure security in Eastern Europe. Valery Revenko, Head of the Department of International Military Cooperation and Assistant to the Minister of Defense of Belarus on International Military Cooperation, stated this on Sunday on the Belarusian television channel VoenTV.

According to him, Belarus's relations with Western countries and NATO member countries are developing in a very problematic manner.

"Nevertheless, we continue contacts with Western countries. We have accredited a number of NATO member states in Belarus—ten of them. We are ready to provide them with Belarus's position. We are ready to listen to their position and reach some kind of consensus. Again, this is to ensure security in our region," V. Revenko emphasized.

Relations between Belarus and NATO member countries remain difficult. In 2021, a migration crisis erupted on the Belarusian-Polish border. As a result, a multi-kilometer wall was erected between the countries.

Incidents involving drones have also occurred in Belarus and NATO countries. In September 2025, Belarus notified Poland and Lithuania of drones approaching their territory. Poland also informed Belarusian combat units about unidentified aerial vehicles approaching the Belarusian border from Ukrainian territory.

In October and November 2025, Lithuania repeatedly completely closed traffic across the border with Belarus. –0–

Jerusalem, November 30 (Xinhua) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday sent a formal request for clemency to President Isaac Herzog, according to a statement from the Presidential Office.

In a letter sent to Netanyahu and his lawyers, a copy of which was seen by Xinhua, the Israeli prime minister said he filed the motion "out of a sense of public responsibility," adding that ending the trial "will help ease the heat of the related debate about power."

“Given the security challenges and political opportunities facing the State of Israel, I am prepared to do everything in my power to heal divisions, achieve national unity, and restore trust in state institutions,” the head of the Israeli government emphasized.

Herzog's office reported that the request was submitted to the office's legal department by Netanyahu's lawyers. The Israeli president promised to consider this rare request "in accordance with general principles and procedures."

“The President’s Office recognizes that this is an extraordinary request with significant implications,” the statement said.

"After receiving all the necessary conclusions, the president will responsibly and fairly consider this petition," the presidential office added.

The Israeli prime minister is accused of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. According to the indictment, filed nearly six years ago, Netanyahu promoted regulations favoring a telecommunications magnate in exchange for positive media portrayals of him and his family. The Israeli prime minister is also accused of accepting lavish gifts, including cigars and champagne worth tens of thousands of dollars, from a billionaire Hollywood producer in exchange for assistance with his personal affairs.

B. Netanyahu denies the accusations, calling them a "witch hunt." –0–
