Ivan Vyhivskyi, head of the National Police of Ukraine, and Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security of the State of Israel, had a conversation about preparations for this year’s Hasidic pilgrimage to Uman (Cherkasy region).
“The main topic of the conversation was preparation for this year’s Hasidic pilgrimage to Uman and coordination of efforts to prepare and ensure law enforcement measures in places of gathering of pilgrims,” the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel reported on Tuesday.
The parties agreed to work closely together to agree on the necessary measures during the pilgrimage and coordinate actions on the spot.
Vygivsky thanked his Israeli counterpart for mutual understanding and emphasized the importance of attracting sufficient law enforcement forces from the Israeli side to strengthen the capabilities of Ukrainian law enforcement, given the challenges and threats posed by Russian armed aggression.
“The parties agreed to continue interaction and develop the established cooperation,” the statement said.
Every year, Ukraine hosts tens of thousands of pilgrims to celebrate the Jewish New Year in Uman. This year, Ukraine and Israel have established an effective pragmatic dialogue to ensure a safe pilgrimage under martial law and to take the necessary measures to maintain law and order during the festivities.
The Embassy expressed its gratitude to Minister Gvir for his personal attention to the issue of jointly organizing this year’s Hasidic pilgrimage to Ukraine.
In 2025, the holiday will be celebrated from September 22 to 24.
