Government drops plan to bring Ethiopian Jews to Israel

The government drops from its agenda a plan to bring 1,300 Jews from Ethiopia to Israel, Channel 2’s Amit Segal says.

The plan had been propelled forward by two Likud MKs who threatened to scupper Knesset votes for the 61-strong coalition, which jumps to 67 members with the addition of Yisrael Beytenu.
