The war in Ethiopia is creating a problem with immigration to Israel

TEL AVIV – In the dramatic days of the ongoing escalation in Ethiopia, with the advance of the Tigray rebels towards the capital Addis Ababa, a heated debate is underway in Israel on a possible rescue action for members of the community of Jewish origin who still live today in the African country. An estimated 8,000 people claiming Jewish roots or family ties to Israeli citizens would be waiting to immigrate to escape the ongoing war.
