Ukraine and Israel hope for Trump's resolve: Lozhkin opens the fifth Kyiv Jewish Forum

Opening the Fifth Kyiv Jewish Forum, President of the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine, and Vice President of the World Jewish Congress Borys Lozhkin congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the U.S. presidential election and stated that the results of this election were expected in Ukraine and Israel.

"It is the United States that is now largely determining the outcome of the wars waged by our peoples for their independence and the right to live in peace. I welcome the choice of the American people and want to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory. Ukrainians and Israelis have high hopes for the return of an administration that has previously demonstrated its determination to help both Ukraine and Israel," Lozhkin said.

He recalled that during Trump's previous presidential term, Ukraine began to receive more active military support, which later helped to counter Russian aggression. Regarding Israel, President Trump has done more than anyone else in recent years, in particular, he facilitated the signing of the Abraham Accords, which brought peace to the Middle East, bringing it as close as possible to permanent reconciliation between Israel and the Arab world (the Abraham Accords are a series of agreements on the normalization of relations between Israel and Arab states signed in 2020-2021 – ed.)

However, Lozhkin emphasized that Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, undid all this, but now hope for peace has been revived.

As you know, the people of the United States also cast their votes for representatives in Congress, and the Republican Party won a majority in the Senate and retained a majority in the House of Representatives.

"I sincerely believe that the bipartisan and bicameral unity in support of Ukraine and Israel in their struggle for independence and peace will continue," Lozhkin said.

The Kyiv Jewish Forum has been held for the fifth year in a row. This year it was organized in an online format, and Washington, D.C., became the central venue. The Kyiv Jewish Forum is organized by the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine and The Jerusalem Post. As Borys Lozhkin explained, this year's speakers and guests of the forum will try to find answers to the question of how to counter the modern axis of evil formed by Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
