Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich is photographed visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem for the bar mitzvah of his son, Aaron, according to local reports.
Abramovich, 56, the former owner of the Chelsea football club in London, has been sanctioned by Canada, Britain and the EU for his purported support of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Abramovich holds Israeli citizenship, and has been spotted in Israel several times since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.
