A delegation of director-generals of Israeli government ministries will embark on a mission to Ethiopia in July after which it will suggest to the cabinet a plan that will be intended to end the aliyah from Ethiopia. “The ministry and the Jewish Agency are working in Ethiopia to immigrate 3,000 eligible olim [immigrants to Israel] who were approved by the Interior Ministry, as part of Government Resolution No. The vast majority of olim are family members of Israeli citizens who are given Israeli citizenship as a humanitarian effort. After returning to Israel, the director-generals of the ministries, together with the Jewish Agency, are expected to discuss the situation in Ethiopia, in order to find practical solutions. Sources in the government told the Post that the government could decide to totally end the aliyah from Ethiopia.
