Lapid said he is sending a delegation to Moscow this week that will "make every effort to maximize the legal dialogue" around the case.
"The Jewish community in Russia is large and important and comes up in every political conversation with the government in Moscow," Lapid said in a statement on Sunday. "The closing of the agency's offices will be a serious event, which will affect relations."
