After Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Kornychuk claimed that the state did not allow dozens of refugees to enter the country after they fled the war, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked responded today (Tuesday) to his remarks, saying that “it is worth sticking to the facts.”
According to Shaked, “Since this morning, 97 passengers from various countries around the world have arrived with a Ukrainian passport, of which only 2 were denied. One passenger came from Georgia with a borrowed identity, and the other came from Poland for immigration purposes.
As mentioned, Shaked’s remarks were made after the Ukrainian ambassador claimed earlier today that his country was “disappointed. From the Israeli government that did not allow the entry of refugees who fled fromThe war. “He claims,” In the last six days, Israel has deported dozens of refugees who came from different countries in the world and at the airport sent them to the places from which they came, instead of giving them a place of refuge. “
“It’s very unfortunate. We are not talking about illegal workers, we are talking about something completely different,” Kornichuk added. “It forces us to defend ourselves. We want peace and we want Israel to support us in every way, even in such difficult days.”
