The Jewish Agency announces it will open six aliyah processing stations at Ukrainian border crossings with four countries: Poland, Moldova, Romania, and Hungary.
The stations, operated alongside the Nativ conversion preparation organization and the Foreign Ministry, are aimed at assisting Ukrainian Jews fleeing the war-torn country to immigrate to Israel.
The agency says it has been operating from a central aliyah station in Lviv in Western Ukraine since the Russian invasion began, where several new immigrants to Israel crossed to Poland today.
The agency moved that station to the Polish side of the border earlier today, after Foreign Minister Yair Lapid ordered the evacuation of all diplomatic staff out of Ukraine.
The agency says it expects a significant wave of immigration to Israel, subject to eligibility granted by Nativ, amid the ongoing war.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
