Netanyahu on immigrants: They get the job done
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSpeaking ahead of the first official “Aliyah Day,” set to be marked tomorrow to honor immigrants, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells his Likud faction meeting that immigrants have made a “tremendous contribution” to the State of Israel.
“The contribution of so many different communities is so broad and deep,” he says.
The prime minister also praises immigrants’ contribution to Israel’s relationship with the countries they came from.
“I see it in Russia, in Ukraine, in France. They don’t just contribute to Israel, they contribute to Israel’s foreign relations,” he says.
