Israel's foreign ministry: Israelis can enter Crimea only from Ukraine
The Foreign Ministry of Israel has provided an official explanation on the procedure of entering the territory of Crimea temporarily occupied by Russia – it is lawful to enter Crimea only from the territory of Ukraine, the Newsru in Israel wrote.
"According to Ukrainian laws, entrance of the Crimean peninsular requires a permit from the Ukrainian migration department," the ministry said.
Earlier in January 2016 the official website of the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel published a statement on the entrance of the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea by Israeli citizens.
"The embassy recently received information about facts of entering the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea by Israeli citizens who violate the requirements prescribed in Ukrainian law and do business with illegal Crimean authorities without first receiving permits from the Ukrainian government. The embassy notes that these actions violate Ukrainian law, particularly, the law on enduring rights and liberties of citizens and the legal order on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. They also contravene international law, in particular, the provisions of A/RES/68/262 resolution adopted by the General Assembly on March 27, 2014 on Territorial integrity of Ukraine. If above-mentioned actions are registered, information will be handed to authorized agencies of Ukraine. The placing of the relevant Israeli companies to the list of companies on which sanctions are imposed will be considered," the embassy said.
