Kremlin refuses to comment on situation surrounding Jewish Agency for Israel

Moscow, July 29, Interfax - The Kremlin has refrained from commenting on the situation surrounding the lawsuit lodged by the Russian Justice Ministry's Main Directorate for Moscow seeking the abolition of the Russian branch of the Jewish Agency for Israel.

"The legal process is still ongoing after all, this is why we cannot comment on anything now, we simply don't have the right," Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Friday, answering a relevant question.

Answering a follow-up question whether the Kremlin requested relevant authorities to provide information about it, he said, "We have certain information. We simply do not have the right to make any comments until the judicial proceedings."
