The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry does not recommend tourists to visit Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Probably this is due to the events in Syria. And we were going to go there from Sharm in November. Do you think it's better not to risk it?

You need to clarify before the trip - by then a lot can change. You can see how actively the world is "established" there, so it's better to find out the situation immediately before flying to Sharm in order to plan.

I don't think you should cancel your trip. If you eat not just to stare - everything will be in perfect order.

No need to be afraid, last year we went at a time when there was an aggravation of the situation and according to the news they said that tourists should refrain from visiting Israel.

We were in October last year - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not warn us of anything.
They could not approach the temple of David, since it was then a Muslim day there. We saw only the wall and the old city. They planned for the next day, but did not come because everything was cordoned off there due to the fact that a shootout had begun.
By the way, I advise you to take a bus from Jerusalem to Bethlehem - it is more comfortable and safer to cross the border.

believe in our Foreign Ministry, do not trust yourself to "sign up" to any political event .... Jerusalem has really high security standards - "men in black" on motorcycles are combing the city., the police are not sleeping and in civilian clothes and + the military at posts and checkpoints .And the people are watching ... But God saves the cherished .... so it's up to you

In October 2014 we traveled from Sharm to Israel for a 2 day tour. On the territory of Egypt, our buses were accompanied by armed guards. The tour was organized by a hotel guide from Tez Tour. Everything is great, no problem. I would not pay any attention to any warnings, and you decide for yourself. If you are asking this question, then you have doubts. Listen to yourself / yourself and as your intuition tells you, do it

Do not run into the Foreign Ministry - he is doing his job. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that it is not safe to travel, this only means that legally the state disclaims responsibility and if something happens to you, you will get out yourself, without the help of the Ministry of Emergencies, etc. That's all.

Thanks for the advice. I already went once to Jerusalem for 1 day .. And this time I was asked to take 4 elderly relatives with me to Egypt. They saved up money for this trip for a whole year. It is with the main goal - to visit the holy places in Israel. So I toil - to take on such responsibility or not? So let's wait. Maybe things will change for the better.

I do not think that this recommendation is connected with the events in Syria. Unfortunately, another wave of terror has begun in Israel. Only in the previous two days, on October 7-8, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, Afula, Kiryat Gat and near Kiryat Arba, seven terrorist attacks were carried out using cold weapons, as a result of which 12 people were injured. When this wave ends and no one knows, maybe it will be calm in November ... Follow the news http://www.newsru.co.il/israel and decide what to do with them)

Hey, guides living in Egypt! How is the situation in Sharm? Tourists are not afraid of the horror stories of the Foreign Ministry and go to Jerusalem?

The gentlemen who answered the question do not take into account one circumstance: Bethlehem is not Israel, and Israeli security standards do not apply there, and any psycho will not look into your passport, specifying your citizenship either. So it's up to you to decide, of course there is a certain risk.

Surely you speak Russian well. And if you don’t shout “Glory to Ukraine” at every crossroads in Jerusalem and wave yellow-black flags, you have nothing to be afraid of. It’s written correctly here, Jerusalem is a safe city. Well, if you are going to Israel You are probably aware that you can run into a terrorist attack there. Purely by chance, as they say, "fall under the distribution." Decide for yourself.

Well, what does the Arabs have to do with it? What do you think the guys who left Eseser really like what is being done in Ukraine? For example, those who left Odessa, for example. And the Arabs don’t care who to wet Jews, Muslims, Christians. that now many people ask us in a travel agency, is it possible to choose a hotel where there are no Ukrainians, it’s too painful for your lads to not like us Russians. Believe me, no Ukrophobia and other things, real facts told by vacationers in Turkey about Lviv lads. they don’t like any nationalists, even their own. That’s all.

Well, firstly, people left the USSR not only from Russia or the south of Ukraine, and they left, by the way, because they did not like the very orders that are now being actively revived in Russia. Secondly, the author of the question is clearly afraid of not ardent Jews with knives at the ready, however, we can ask him who he meant in his voros. Thirdly, in September, a RECORD number of Jews came to Ukraine (Uman) for their holiday (more than 30 thousand .) - somehow it does not seem that the citizens of Israel in unison condemn the current Ukrainian government and its actions.

Again, "What's with the crests?". I don't care what people think about Ukraine in Israel or anywhere else. I'm not a politician and I'm going to the resort to relax, not to rally and provoke. I have not heard that the Ukrainians, for example, at the Wailing Wall yelled "Glory to Ukraine" and waved their flags, while the Russians came to Ukraine with their flags and even with weapons. By the way, mainly Russian-speaking Ukrainians are fighting against Russians in Donbas.

Ukrainians and Jews have always coexisted peacefully and equally suffered from communist terror. Both Jews and Ukrainians were evicted from Western Ukraine to Siberia.

here, in my corrosiveness, I can’t help but object to you already, uv.Vic-Grin. The coexistence of Ukrainians and Jews was far from always cloudless long before the Soviets. authorities But this topic has no place on "turpravda". In essence, the answers have already been received.

papapri Enough thrint. You yourself raise topics that are off topic, and then you also complain.
I can bet that they have never been to Israel, since you are carrying such a blizzard. Because if they were there, they would not write such nonsense.
By the way, relations between Ukraine and Israel are now better than ever, and at the level of all departments.

kot1963_ Domestic conflicts have existed and exist among people of different nations all the time. And judging by who are the richest people in Ukraine today, the Jews did not suffer much. And your countrymen - Poroshenko and Groysman, in addition, occupy the highest positions in power.
On this, I ask the moderator to delete my question.

Sorry, I'm off topic. But if 4 elderly relatives want to visit Jerusalem with Bethlehem, why are they going through Egypt? It will be more expensive than flying directly from Jerusalem.

ollennka_ They want to go to Egypt for a week, of which five days to bask on the beach, swim in the sea and just one or two days to go on an excursion to Jerusalem. They have enough. These are intelligent pensioners - former teachers, lawyers, accountants. It is enough for them to see once what they already know so much about. And as for what will come out more expensive, then a tour to Israel costs almost 2 times more than to Egypt.

The situation in Sharm is normal. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives such recommendations not because of Syria, but because of the tragic events in Jerusalem itself.
Vic Green, you know very well, today is good, but no one knows what might happen tomorrow. Although the situation is now calm in Jerusalem, tours are running as normal. There are no cancellations of Jerusalem yet. Living in Israel will be much more expensive than the same in Egypt. Therefore, a tour to Israel will be much more expensive.
