An estimated 10,000 Ukrainian Jews
will arrive in Israel in the coming weeks, according to Israeli government
officials.

Israel's government estimates that around 10,000 Ukrainians will immigrate to Israel in the coming weeks, government officials told The Jerusalem Post on Saturday.
The Ministry of Immigration and Absorption would not comment on
this estimate, but responded saying: "The Ministry of Immigration and
Absorption is prepared for the emergency immigration of Ukrainian Jews, and in
view of the escalation in Ukraine, the ministry, headed by Minister Tamano
Shata, is preparing all sectors to assist and absorb any Jew seeking to
immigrate to Israel."
"In light of the drastic increase in applications for
immigration from Ukraine and in view of the security situation
in the region", the ministry said that Tamano-Shata and Finance
Minister Avigdor Lieberman agreed on providing additional budgets to actualize
the emergency immigration operation from Ukraine.
The Ministry of Immigration and Absorption convened an emergency
discussion last Thursday during which Tamano-Shata assembled an
inter-ministerial team to remove bureaucratic hurdles for potential olim and to
issue immigration visas digitally, in light of a drastic increase in
applications. This is in addition to reinforcements in the Absorption Division
at Ben Gurion Airport and the cooperation with the IDF.
The Ministry concluded, "We call on the Jews of Ukraine to
immigrate to Israel - your home."
In the entire year of 2021 a total of 13,006 Jews made Aliyah from Eastern Europe to Israel. Therefore, 10,000 immigrants from Ukraine in one month is substantial and dramatic.
As revealed by
the Jerusalem Post, Israel offers fleeing Jews from Ukraine free
shelter and meals. The Ukrainian Jews will be offered to stay in hotels for a
time of two weeks till one month – with possibilities to extend this time
further.

Yesterday Israel turned away 2 non-Jews who arrived together with Ukainian Jews were let in. Before during and after World War II Jews were turned away from countries ( including the USA) because they were Jewish and now we are doing the same to non-Jews. Yesterday I felt ashamed of Israel for the first time. If Menachem Begin let Vietnamese come into Israel why can't our cold hearted Ayelet Shached let in fleeing Ukranians?
