Diaspora minister: We need to prepare for a wave of aliyah due to coronavirus

Diaspora Minister Tzipi Hotovely, speaking with the heads of the Nefesh B’Nefesh organization which encourages Jewish immigration from the US to Israel, says Israel must prepare for an influx due to the coronavirus crisis.

“World Jewry is facing a new reality following the coronavirus crisis. There is an awakening among the communities and we must be prepared for a wave of aliyah to Israel, to reach out and give a warm home to every Jew during such a difficult time,” she says.
