Putin and Bennett had talks in the Russian Black Sea resort city of Sochi on October 22. It was their first personal meeting that lasted for 5.5 hours. Bennet described his meeting with Putin as superb and said the talks were meaningful and substantive. Initially, the Israeli prime minister planned to return home on the same day, October 22, but since the talks took much more time than scheduled, it was decided that the Israeli delegation would stay in Russia until Saturday evening, the office of the Israeli prime minister said. According to the Jewish tradition, it is prohibited to work, including to use transport, during Shabbat from Friday sunset till Saturday evening.
