MK Yomtob Calfon (Yamina) participated in a discussion in the National Infrastructure Committee on the absorption of Israelis and refugees from Ukraine.
"We must take care of our own first. There is a serious crisis in Ukraine, and our hearts with the Ukrainian people, but we have Jews, Israelis, and those entitled to immigrate to Israel. Israel's top priority must be to bring them here," he commented.
"Despite all the hard work being done, there is still no situation manager to streamline the handling of the situation. I was redirected several times yesterday while making a simple inquiry. There must be a single body responsible for all aspects of the situation," he added.
