Against the backdrop of the mobilization, Israel is ready to expel Russian Jews from the country
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and the head of the Israeli airline El-Al held consultations regarding the possible increase in the number of flights from Russia to Israel. The goal is to evacuate Russian Jews who have the right to repatriate to Israel and want to avoid mobilization for the war in Ukraine.
Secretary General of Israel's Foreign Ministry, Alon Ushpiz, announced that preparations for the arrival of a new wave of repatriates have begun in the country by order of the government.
"Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid instructed us to accept new immigrants from Russia. This requires assessment at multiple levels, starting with flight visas and admissions. We work closely with other ministries, our embassy in Russia, and, of course, the El-Al company," Ushpiz said.
