A table provided by Israel’s Interior Ministry shows that thousands of Jews secretly left countries hostile to Israel
Nearly 2,500 Jews have secretly left countries hostile to Israel in recent years, almost all of them with Muslim majorities, information released this week by the Interior Ministry shows.
These include states like Morocco and Tunisia – but also Cuba. Turkey is the only one that has diplomatic relations with Israel, though these have deteriorated dramatically in recent years.
The figures were included in a table prepared by the Interior Ministry’s Population Registry. It broke down the number of immigrants arriving in Israel since 2012 eligible to make aliyah: those who are recognized as Jewish by the state and those who are not. The figures were released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by Hiddush, an organization that advocates for religious freedom in Israel.
