Government to establish body for absorption of French immigrants
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett to formulate a plan to increase the immigration of French Jews to Israel.
“There has been a historic missed opportunity on the part of Israeli governments over the past few years, and it is the subject of immigration from France,” says Bennett in a statement.
“There are 200,000 Jews in France who want to immigrate here, and all the state systems are simply not prepared for this.”
