Russian Oligarch—Roman Abramovich’s private jet landed in Israel 8 hours ago.
Israel’s Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem, told US to exclude Abramovich from sanctions because ”it would hurt donations.”

Oligarchs move to Israel. No tax for ten years. And an agreement between Israeli and Russian secret services that they don’t assassinate on each other’s territory https://t.co/8eWFpwOzNt

At least 14 private jets from Russia have landed at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, per a report by The Times of Israel.
The report cited a broadcast by Israel’s Channel 12, which said that a number of rented private planes were coming from Russia and were landing in Israel.
The planes’ owners were unidentified and this has led to speculation that oligarchs may be looking at ways to slip around sanctions.
[…] The UK, among others, recently sanctioned seven more Russian oligarchs, including Roman Abramovich as Insider’s Kate Duffy reported. Other oligarchs had previously been sanctioned, including Gennady Timchenko, Boris Rotenberg, and Igor Rotenberg.
