НАновости: Why the creation of the Forum of Pro-Ukrainian Organizations and Initiatives in Israel is an important step

As an informational resource, we support important initiatives aimed at enhancing interaction between Ukraine and Israel, especially in these challenging times. The creation of the Forum of Pro-Ukrainian Organizations and Initiatives in Israel, which took place on February 20, 2025, is an important step for coordinating efforts among pro-Ukrainian organizations and initiatives operating in Israel.

The Memorandum of Establishment of the Forum was an important first step towards creating a unified platform that will enable closer cooperation between organizations and allow for more organized event planning, resource attraction, and implementation of joint projects. It is important to note that the creation of such a forum is significant not only for strengthening ties between Israel and Ukraine but also for maintaining solidarity among different initiatives within Israel.

Recommendations:

1. Joining the Forum: We encourage all Ukrainian and pro-Ukrainian organizations and initiatives existing in Israel to join the Forum. This will ensure better coordination of efforts and increase opportunities for implementing joint initiatives.
2. Strengthening interaction between Israel and Ukraine: The Forum will become an important mechanism for strengthening relations between the two countries at the level of public organizations, creating a more solid foundation for mutual support and cooperation.
3. Uniting efforts: The Forum will create a platform for working with various initiatives, enabling the effective attraction of resources and implementation of projects, as well as supporting important cultural and humanitarian initiatives.

The creation of such a forum is not just a step in the development of the pro-Ukrainian position in Israel but also an important tool for supporting the Ukrainian community and strengthening its position in this key region.
