The signatories also reminded the Israeli officials of the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust, when many countries refused to allow Jewish refugees. And today, when the whole of Ukraine has come to the defense of its independence, many citizens of Ukraine turn to us with astonishment and indignation regarding the above-mentioned decisions of Israel,” the letter reads. “For many years, Israel has been for Ukraine an example of resilience, heroism and selfless struggle for its freedom and independence. These measures caused a wave of criticism in the Ukrainian society. However, according to the letter, Israel has introduced additional procedures for Ukrainians, making it more difficult to enter the country, even for tourism and business purposes, as well as introduced quotas for refugees. The signatories thanked Israel for voting at the UN for a resolution in support of Ukraine, public condemnation of Russia’s aggression, humanitarian aid and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s efforts for a diplomatic settlement.
