Ukraine has asked to hold a large rally at the Yad Vashem that would be addressed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Walla news site reports.
According to the report, Ukrainian Ambassador Yevgen Korniychuk met today with Yad Vashem chairman Dani Dayan to request permission for the rally. Citing sources at Yad Vashem, the news site says Dayan was cool to the idea, expressing solidarity with Ukraine but reluctant to hold a political event at Israel’s national Holocaust memorial.
