The Jewish Agency for Israel called on Ukraine to investigate a recent rise in antisemitic incidents, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reported on May 8. Agency Chairman Zeev Bielski conveyed his concern to Ukraine's ambassador in Israel over an attack on an exhibition in Kharkov organized by the Jewish Agency.
The open-air display dedicated to Israeli Independence Day was set on fire last week. In another incident, the Golden Rose Synagogue in Dnepropetrovsk was smeared with black paint on May 3, JTA reported.
