"This is a life-threatening event," says Itzik Bar - deputy head of the National Security Council today (Sunday), "Oman and Ukraine are in a complex situation, the institutions there are involved in other events and will not be able to help in the event of a disaster, so the event there is not managed. If we have to react it will be very difficult for us, also due to the fact that the airspace will be closed. The civil infrastructures in the country and the city do not contain the event (the visit of believers on Rosh Hashanah), so our recommendation is unequivocally not to travel.
"The Israelis are expected to act like a control of the travel warning to Turkey, which thanks to the warning and the reflection of reality, people canceled and miraculously we were not around a serious terrorist attack in Turkey. The Turks cooperated with us, but in general the state and the city cannot cooperate and support, not necessarily cases of combat but an accident or even Lack of a passport. There is no ability to send troops and provide assistance."

His words join the announcement of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) and the local police, in cooperation with Israel's law enforcement authorities, who called on Israelis not to attend the Rosh Hashanah celebration in Uman this year, due to the security situation in Ukraine.

Eyal Siso - Deputy Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added: "I sat with the Ukrainian ambassador in Israel, he begged with tearful eyes and said don't come this year, our people are busy taking care of the sick and dead and the police are busy fighting and ask that they come as little as possible.
This year's event is reserved for you.
It's a one-off in the hope that next year there won't be fighting and then we'll be there to assist.
The extreme right knows that the police are busy fighting and can take advantage of the opportunity."
