News, history, travel, social life, and practical information about Israel — now all of this can be read in Ukrainian on a separate information portal. The editorial team of NAnews introduces readers to the project israel.in.ua and explains who it might be especially useful for.

Regular Israeli news. Just … in Ukrainian
It’s important to correctly understand the format of ‘Israel in Ukrainian’. This is not a special project dedicated exclusively to the Ukrainian community or promoting the Ukrainian agenda in Israel. It is a regular information portal about Israel, its politics, economy, security, society, and daily life. The main difference is in the language of the publications.
Israelis have long had the opportunity to choose the language in which they receive news about their country. Ynet, Mako, Walla, and Maariv operate in Hebrew. The English-speaking audience reads The Times of Israel, The Jerusalem Post, and i24NEWS. For Russian-speaking readers, there are ‘Vesti Israel’, NEWSru Israel, Channel 9, and other information resources.
Of course, these publications differ in scale, audience, and editorial structure. But the principle is familiar: a person opens news about Israel in the language convenient for them and receives information about what is happening in the country, not just about events related to their origin or national community.
Now this format is also developing in Ukrainian.
And this is perhaps the most interesting thing about the emergence of israel.in.ua. A Ukrainian-speaking resident of Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, or Be’er Sheva does not need to look for translations of Israeli news or switch to Russian or English to find out what is happening around. They can open a Ukrainian-language information portal and read about Israel — just about Israel.
That is why the NAnews editorial team decided to introduce their readers to this resource. The more languages available in the Israeli information space, the more opportunities people have to independently choose where and how to get news.
Imagine a typical morning in Israel. You need to find out what is happening in the country, what decisions the government has made, whether the transport schedule has changed, and what is new in the economy. At the same time — where to go for the weekend, what holiday is approaching, and why some stores will be closed on that day.
The NAnews editorial team recommends getting acquainted with ‘Israel in Ukrainian’ — israel.in.ua. This is an information portal dedicated to Israel: not only to major events and international politics but also to the daily life of the country, its history, people, and places.
Moreover, it’s not exclusively about Ukrainians in Ukraine. The resource is also aimed at Ukrainian-speaking residents of Israel itself, including immigrants from Ukraine, and everyone interested in the Israeli agenda in Ukrainian.
Israeli news — not only when something happens
The core of israel.in.ua is the news direction. It features politics, security, economy, social events, international relations, and other topics that make up Israel’s daily information agenda.
It also covers the work of the Knesset — the Israeli parliament, the activities of the IDF — the Israel Defense Forces, and decisions directly affecting the lives of citizens. The site also features Ukrainian and international news.
For a person living in Israel, this is quite a significant thing. After all, the country’s news is not only about rockets, diplomatic conflicts, or the next speech of the prime minister. There are issues of prices, banks, social policy, transport, healthcare. Local events that will never make headlines in Ukrainian national media, although they may be much more important for the Israeli reader.
This is the kind of everyday information the portal strives to make available in Ukrainian.
Don’t know what arnona or Rav-Kav is? There’s something to read here too
Israel.in.ua has a practical information direction called InfoIL, as well as social and reference materials. And this part deserves special attention.
For example, arnona is an Israeli municipal property tax. It is usually paid by the actual user of the housing, including the tenant. A new immigrant may find it difficult to understand why a bill came, where the amount came from, and what discounts they may be entitled to.
Or Rav-Kav — an electronic card for paying public transport fares. For those who have lived here for a long time, everything is familiar, but for someone who has just arrived, they still need to figure out how the local transport system is arranged.
The portal has reference sections on transport, roads, state and religious holidays, Jewish traditions. The features of Shabbat — the weekly Jewish day of rest, when the operation of most types of public transport and many businesses is limited, are explained separately.
Useful information, and not necessarily only for newcomers. Even after several years of living in Israel, from time to time you have to deal with local rules, institutions, and unfamiliar terms.
The history of the country and routes you never get around to
Two more notable directions are ‘History’ and ‘Travel’.
In the historical section, you can read about the formation of the state of Israel, the Zionist movement, Jewish immigration, wars, organizations, and people who influenced the development of the country.
Among the materials, there is, for example, the history of aliyah — Jewish immigration to Israel, publications about the Beitar movement, and events of the British Mandate period. This is no longer just a news feed, but an opportunity to consistently get acquainted with the country’s past.
The travel section is arranged more practically: interesting places, historical sites, walks, weekend routes. There are materials to help plan a trip, choose transport, and allocate time.
For example, a guide to Jerusalem offers several options for getting to know the city — depending on interests and the duration of the trip.
Here we are particularly close to the idea itself: Israel can be learned not only from media reports but also on foot.
Earlier we talked about the initiative ‘Well, shall we go?’ — a Ukrainian tourist community in Israel that brings people together through joint hikes, travels, and communication. Interest in nature, history, and little-known places in the country turned out to be a great reason for people with different backgrounds to get to know each other.
Ukrainian community, poster, and social networks
The portal’s structure also includes directions related to Ukraine, the local community, and cultural events.
This is important for those who want not only to read about Israeli events but also to know what is happening in the Ukrainian environment: what meetings, concerts, festivals, and other public initiatives are taking place.
The site also has additional information services — a calendar, weather by cities in Israel, exchange rates, sea temperature information. No need to search for each such thing on different resources.
You can follow the project not only through the site. ‘Israel in Ukrainian’ has its own platforms on social networks:
Facebook — Israel in Ukrainian
Telegram is also listed among the official communication channels of the portal.
Why we decided to talk about this project
NAnews has a slightly different editorial specialization. We do not try to cover every event of the internal Israeli agenda — from municipal decisions to daily economic news.
No, we do not know who runs the israel.in.ua project, but we wish them success and good promotion. ‘Israel in Ukrainian’ has been publishing materials since at least April 2026. During this time, the project has expanded from a news feed to a full-fledged information portal.
NAnews / NAnews — a thematic publication about Ukraine, Israel, and everything that connects our countries. The shared history of our peoples, the Jewish heritage of Ukraine, the life of Ukrainians in Israel and Jewish communities in Ukraine, cultural, social, and humanitarian initiatives. The people who continue to develop these connections.
A special direction of our work is countering Russian disinformation in the Russian-speaking information space of Israel. Therefore, Russian remains the main language of the publication. We consciously address the audience we want to tell about Ukraine and the Ukrainian position directly, without the Russian information lens.
Our materials are also published in Ukrainian, Hebrew, English, and French.
But there is also a reverse informational need. Ukrainians need to know more about Israel — not only about the war, diplomatic relations, or Jewish history, but also about what modern Israel is like.
That is why NAnews — Israel News | Nikk.Agency introduces its readers to projects like ‘Israel in Ukrainian’. The more opportunities there are to learn about Israel in Ukrainian, the easier it is for the Ukrainian audience to understand what is happening here without additional language barriers.
Moreover, the Ukrainian language in Israel does not necessarily mean a recent move from Ukraine. Some have lived here for decades, some came after 2022, some grew up in an Israeli family with Ukrainian roots. There are people who speak Hebrew fluently, communicate in Russian, but want to read and listen in Ukrainian.
We have also talked about how such a linguistic space is forming in Israel, using the example of the youth Ukrainian-Jewish community PROSTIR. There, people unite around culture, Jewish traditions, and communication. In the case of the information portal, it is about another, no less everyday need — to receive information in the chosen language.
