ATHENS — During a meeting in Athens with Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou, President Isaac Herzog says he is praying for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.

“This morning I feel great sadness, fearing humanitarian tragedy and God forbid harm to innocent civilians,” says Herzog, “and I pray like many around the world that peace will return in this conflict between Russia and Ukraine.”

Herzog reiterates Israel’s support for “the territorial integrity of Ukraine” and calls for Israeli citizens to “return immediately to Israel right now through land crossings.”

He also vows to “care for the fate of the Jewish community in Ukraine,” and to offer “all possible humanitarian cooperation” to the government of Ukraine.”
