Prime Minister Naftali Bennett meets with a group of Ukrainian Jews taking part in a Masa program in Israel.

“First and foremost, I want to tell you that you have a home here. Israel is your home, the home of your families and of every Jew in the world — now and forever,” Bennett tells the group, many of whom have been in Israel for several months. “This is the reason that the State of Israel was established.”

Bennett thanks the group for meeting with him, saying that the purpose of the sit-down is “for me to hear from you, to know what is happening with you and your families in Ukraine.”
