Jewish Agency Brings Jews to Israel from Enemy States
(Israel Hayom) Dan Lavie - Jewish Agency Chairman Isaac Herzog told Israel Hayom in an interview that his organization operates clandestinely, in potentially dangerous ways, in order to make sure Jews reach the Land of Israel. "Some of the olim (Jewish immigrants) we bring come from states that are considered enemies, and we cannot disclose their origin even after they arrive because we worry about their families," he said. "In some parts of the world, Jews are at a constant threat of being killed." Herzog said about 60 Jews arrived from enemy states over the past six months, saying that the covert methods the agency used to bring them to Israel would "send chills down your spine."
