Minister of Immigration and Absorption Yoav Gallant has welcomed the cabinet decision to bring 400 Falashmura to Israel from Ethiopia, along with the efforts of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
Gallant said, "We are working to bring the remaining Falash Mura, who have been waiting in Ethiopia, due to the elections process, for a year already. There are 398 people waiting for nothing in Addis Ababa and Gondar when they could be sitting today in absorption centers in the State of Israel. The State of Israel has a moral debt to the members of the Ethiopian community, who serve in the IDF and contribute in all aspects of life, to unite with their family members who have been left behind."
