President Reuven Rivlin this morning (Monday), held a working meeting at his residence with the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Pavlo Klimkin who was visiting Israel.
In their meeting, the two discussed the strengthening ties between the two countries, and the importance of the Jewish community in Ukraine, as an important part of the Ukrainian people. The President stressed that the State of Israel viewed with concern the phenomena of the rise in anti-Semitism around the world, and in Europe in particular, “Never again is an imperative for the whole world, not just for the Jewish People. We are close friends, while we cannot forget, as we are sure neither can you. I am certain you will continue to fight uncompromisingly against anti-Semitism and all racism.”
