MK Avraham Neguise (Likud), chairman of the Aliyah (Immigration) and Absorption Committee, wonders why, despite the fact that the Israeli government approved the transfer of the remaining Ethiopian Jews to Israel, it did not include the issue in the state budget for 2019. "The situation of Ethiopian Jews is very worrisome. According to Neguise, it cannot be that the Israeli government approves the immigration of Ethiopian Jews but ignores the decision when approving the budget. Only Ethiopian Jews," Neguise says. The community will not let go of this issue, and we hope that the government will approve the issue in the budget and will include the continued immigration of Ethiopian Jews in 2019.
