The new year is off to a great start for the 300 new Ethiopian immigrants, who have just made aliyah on the first immigration flights of 2021.
The issue of Ethiopian immigration has prevailed for nearly six years, since the government decided in 2015 to help the last remaining Jews in Ethiopia make aliyah. However, the process is still slow.
The situation in Ethiopia has also deteriorated in the past year, due to prolonged food shortages, an internal armed conflict within the Tigray region and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Efforts continue to bring the rest of them to Israel, led by the Minister of Aliyah and Integration, Pnina Tamano-Shata, who is an Ethiopian immigrant, and the president of the Jewish Agency, Isaac Herzog.
