Following Ukraine's message that it will limit the arrival of Hasidic pilgrims to the city of Uman at Israel's request, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that no such plea was made.
"The Prime Minister and the President of Ukraine urged people to not arrive at Uman due to its high coronavirus morbidity, but it should be emphasized that those who decided to travel to Uman must adhere to public health order," a message from the PMO said.
