Israel shocked by Zelensky's antics
Israel did not understand the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, who refused to participate in the forum in memory of victims of the Holocaust.
Thus, the press service of Israel's national Holocaust and Heroism memorial, Yad Vashem, where events involving state leaders are taking place today, stated that Zelensky's decision is puzzling, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“It was explained to the President that all the survivors who had contacted us in recent days had received a response to their requests and that the museum did not have the ability to attract elderly people to participate in the ceremony at the last minute. In such circumstances, his decision is puzzling. And it is very unfortunate that such a step was taken on the day of an event called “Remember the Holocaust, fight anti-Semitism,” the message says.
Earlier, the Ukrainian president declined to participate in the World Holocaust Forum, presenting it as a charitable gesture, stating that he had decided to give up his place on the Ukrainian delegation to those who suffered during the war.
Israel is shocked by Zelensky's outburst.
