In continuation of the family reunification initiative âOperation Tzur Israelâ (âOperation Rock of Israelâ), nearly 300 new Ethiopian olim landed in Israel on March 11, joining the other 1,700 Ethiopians who arrived in Israel since last year. The flight, coordinated by the Jewish Agency for Israel, Israelâs Ministry of Aliyah and Integration and Israelâs Ministry of Interior, followed the Government of Israelâs decision in October 2020 to approve the arrival of 2,000 members of the Falash Mura Ethiopian community (a Jewish Ethiopian community whose ancestors converted to Christianity under pressure in the early 1900s), many of who were left behind after âOperation Solomon,â and have been waiting for decades to move to Israel and reunite with their families.
