The operations of Russian Cultural Centers (Russian Houses) in Israel and Palestine are currently suspended due to the ongoing situation in the region. These activities will resume when conditions become conducive for their operation. This information was conveyed by Evgeny Primakov, the head of Rossotrudnichestvo, through his Telegram channel.

 

"At present, cultural and mass events are not taking place in Israel, and Palestine is observing a period of mourning. Consequently, in consultation with the Russian Embassy in Israel and the Russian diplomatic mission to the Palestinian Authority, our Russian Cultural Centers in both regions have suspended their in-person activities," he stated.
