Day of Remembrance and Honour: laying of wreaths in honour of the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism in Netanya

On May 9, marking the 80th anniversary of the Victory over Fascism, the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Israel participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Victory Monument in Netanya, alongside the embassies of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

Uzbekistan’s contribution was immense: out of 6.55 million citizens, nearly 1.95 million — every third Uzbekistani — fought on the frontlines.

Additionally, Uzbekistan sheltered 1.5 million evacuees, including hundreds of thousands of Jews, sharing homes, care, and even the last piece of bread — a true embodiment of profound humanism.
