Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai says Israel must begin readying plans for the “emergency immigration” of Jews from Ukraine in case of a Russian invasion.
“Israel is the national home of the Jewish people. If the Jewish community in Ukraine encounters hardship as a result of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, we must offer them an immediate solution of emergency immigration to Israel, now,” Shai writes on Twitter.
