Israeli expects 600 new ‘olim’ from Ukraine today, highest daily number yet

The Immigration Absorption Ministry says it expects some 600 new Jewish immigrants from Ukraine to arrive today.

This would be the highest number of “olim” in a day since the war in Ukraine began.

Israeli officials have said they expect tens of thousands of immigrants from Ukraine and Russia as a result of the war.
