Russian authorities are pursuing 22 legal proceedings involving Jews who immigrated to Israel from Russia, seeking control of assets worth an estimated tens of millions of shekels, Ynet reports. The proceedings rely on a 2018 cross-border bankruptcy agreement that allows Russian judgments to be recognized in Israel. Israel has continued recognizing such cases even as the United States and European countries largely stopped cooperating with Moscow following the invasion of Ukraine.
