Minister of Immigration and Absorption Pnina Tamano-Shata says Israel is ready to deliver humanitarian aid to Ukraine and take in Jewish immigrants from the country in light of the Russian invasion of the country launched earlier today.

“Israel is prepared to deliver immediate humanitarian assistance to Ukraine,” Tamano-Shata tells visiting leaders of American Jewish organizations in Jerusalem.

“We are ready to accept thousands of Jewish immigrants from Ukraine,” she adds.
