A Jewish refugee fleeing Odesa in Ukraine for Israel says he plans to return home very soon.
The man, identified as Moshe, speaks to Channel 12 news from aboard a bus of Israeli citizens in Odesa heading toward one of the border crossings exiting Ukraine.
“We’re ok, we’re doing fine, we’re at a sort of ‘exodus from Egypt’ moment,” Moshe tells the reporter in Hebrew, referencing the biblical story of the Jews fleeing Egypt.
He vows that “by Passover [the holiday marking the exodus from Egypt] — actually by Purim we’ll already be home, stronger than ever and protected as ever.”
Purim falls this year on March 17.
