The Impact of the Agreement on a Possible Ceasefire on Ukrainians in Israel
The agreement on a possible ceasefire could significantly change the legal status of Ukrainians residing in Israel. Many of them have received temporary protection or refugee status since February 24, 2022, and now this status could change depending on the results of the agreement being signed.
If the agreement comes into effect, Ukrainians in Israel may need to review their status:
- Extension of visas and statuses. Most Ukrainians who received temporary protection will fall under a new category of visa rules.
- Possibility of status change. For some immigrants still in the process of obtaining status, the agreement could act as a catalyst for change.
- Returning to Ukraine. For those who want to return to Ukraine, new legal conditions and opportunities may arise.
All these questions are crucial to understanding how the agreement will affect those already in Israel as well as those still waiting for family reunification.
Precedents and Real Cases
In practice, international ceasefire agreements have had different impacts on immigration policies. In other countries receiving refugees, these processes were often accompanied by changes in legislation, allowing people to adapt to new conditions.
It will be especially important to consider opportunities for family reunification. The webinar will show what steps need to be taken for your relatives to come to Israel.
Impact on Legal Aspects
Legal aspects will be key in light of the new changes. The adoption of the agreement on a possible ceasefire could affect those who wish to return to Ukraine or remain in Israel on a long-term basis. Expert Tomer Warsha will explain what steps need to be taken to remain legally in Israel and what risks may arise in the future.
