Transit: airside transit: conditional; landside transit: required; Airside transit requirements depend on the exact itinerary and airline checks. Entering Israel or clearing border control requires meeting the normal ETA-IL rule for visa-exempt passport holders.; Transit source (opens in a new tab) Transit guide

Why this verdict

Ukrainian citizens are marked as not needing a visitor visa in the Israel Entry / Population and Immigration Authority country list, but ETA-IL is mandatory for visa-exempt visitors. This guidance is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, overland border routes and airline transit checks can change the answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
