Belarus presents a mixed safety profile for tourists from Israel. It ranks 38th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, indicating some concerns. According to the Global Peace Index, Belarus is ranked 110th out of 160 countries, which is better than Israel's ranking of 152nd. In terms of murder rates, Belarus has a rate of 2.4 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Israel's rate of 1.9. Female murder rates are also higher in Belarus (1.7) compared to Israel (0.6). The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Belarus has higher scores in state crime (9.0) and human trafficking (7.0) compared to Israel, suggesting more significant issues in these areas. However, Belarus scores better in mafia groups (4.0 vs. Israel's 5.5) and lower in certain drug-related crimes. Overall, while Belarus may be safer than Israel in some respects, tourists should remain cautious and aware of their surroundings while traveling there.
