After the surprising terrorist attacks of the Hamas organization on the State of Israel, the Bulgarian authorities assessed the level of terrorist threat to Bulgaria as low, with the exception of places such as airports, train stations, synagogues, tourists from the State of Israel, to which the risk level has been raised to yellow.
So far, there is no wave of refugees from Israel on the territory of Bulgaria, Maxim Delchev, educational director at the Organization of Jews in Bulgaria - Shalom, told Radio Bulgaria. They support the work of the Embassy of Israel in Bulgaria with regard to Jews in need of assistance.
"At the moment, there are no Jews who have arrived on Bulgarian territory who are refugees in the sense of international law", specified Maxim Delchev. "Our task now is to help the Israelis who came here on vacation, as you know that Bulgaria is a tourist destination, and their flights are now cancelled. We can help them find shelter or provide them with the things they need related to the Jewish religion.''
Delchev assured that they work on every case and request for assistance that they receive, but neither he nor the Israeli embassy in Bulgaria have information on the number of Israeli citizens on Bulgarian territory.
"My prayers are that whatever happens, a peaceful resolution of the matter is reached quickly and as soon as possible and that those responsible for this escalation of violence take their responsibility." As for how long it will last, I hope it will pass quickly and at the cost of fewer victims," said Shalom representative Maxim Delchev.
