Ten Israelis refused entry to Ukraine, held at Kyiv airport for hours

Ten Israelis have been detained since this morning at the Kyiv airport, with Ukrainian authorities refusing to grant them access into the country, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

The Foreign Ministry says it is aware of the case, adding that “the Israeli Embassy in Ukraine is in contact with [the Israelis] and dealing with the matter with local authorities.”

It isn’t initially clear why the Israelis have been refused entry.
