The cabinet votes to approve a budget of NIS 156 million to help further integrate members of the Ethiopian-Israeli community.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says Israeli society “must continue to change its attitude and its consciousness to immigrants from Ethiopia.”
Immigration and Absorption Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata, who herself moved to Israel from Ethiopia at age 3, says there is “still much more work to be done, from shrinking over-policing to equal opportunities in education and promoting fair employment.”
