Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may visit Israel to express his solidarity with the country, according to ynet.

According to the media, the President of Ukraine has requested the possibility of his visit to Israel, which is at war with HAMAS militants.

Journalists specify that the visit is not planned yet, but "initial contacts on this matter already exist."

Background
