Salai Meridor, Chairman of the Jewish Agency, says that 2,000 American Jews are expected to immigrate to Israel in the near future. The number of French Jews who have opened aliyah files in the Agency has doubled, Meridor told the Knesset Aliyah Committee this week, but Jews from Argentina have not arrived in the numbers originally expected. South Africa has also been a disappointment in this connection, Meridor reported. Meridor has been mentioned as a serious candidate to succeed David Ivry as Israel\'s Ambassador to the United States.
