President Isaac Herzog’s office officially acknowledges that Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska is coming to Israel next week at the invitation of her Israeli counterpart, Michal Herzog, to discuss trauma care and rehabilitation.
The Times of Israel reported on the planned visit earlier this week.
Zelenska and Herzog will conduct a joint visit on Monday to Safra Children’s Hospital at Sheba Medical Center, and will hold meetings with the Israel Trauma Coalition and NATAL, an Israeli nonprofit that specializes in war and terror related trauma. Officials from the Foreign Ministry and European Union will participate in the talks as well.
Zelenska, wife of Ukraine’s wartime leader Volodymyr Zelensky, will also have a personal schedule that will likely include a visit to wounded Ukrainian soldiers undergoing rehabilitation in Israel.
