Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at the start of the Likud faction meeting that “Our intelligence sources are working to determine whether the terror attack in Turkey targeted Israelis. The Israeli government is concerned for the wellbeing of Israelis in danger in Nepal, Turkey and anywhere else.”

Netanyahu added that “We have a commitment to Jews in dangerous areas who want to move to Israel. 17 Jews were brought to Israel in a secret operation. We have a commitment to bring Ethiopian Jews to Israel. We will bring many hundreds of them to Israel as early as this year, and the rest, later on.”
