Israel has cast a vote against a United Nations General Assembly resolution advocating for an “advanced, comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Ukraine,” the European Union revealed in a social media post on X/Twitter on Monday.
The update highlighted that 93 nations backed the measure, while 18—including Israel—rejected it. By opposing the resolution, Israel aligned itself with countries such as Russia, North Korea, and the United States.
According to a report from Maariv, in a separate but related matter, a group of U.S. senators reached out to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in response to efforts by members of Neturei Karta, who urged Ukrainian authorities to block Israelis from entering Uman.
The Ukrainian city of Uman serves as a major destination for Jews from Israel who continue to visit in large numbers each year despite the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Travel to the region remains a concern due to safety risks.
Officials in Uman have suggested that Ukraine’s leadership is currently assessing the request, which could introduce new diplomatic challenges between Israel and Ukraine.
With relations between the two nations shifting, Israel’s recent UN vote and the dispute over access to Uman may have further implications for future ties.
