Israeli President Urges Govt. to Rescue Ethiopian Jews Trapped in Bloody Civil War

Israeli President Isaac Herzog called on leaders to quickly bring Ethiopia’s remaining Jews to the Holy Land as a bloody year-long civil war in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region continues to threaten their lives.

“Thousands are still waiting to make aliyah (immigrate) to Israel, and some of them are threatened and in a worrying situation. We must continue to act to bring them over to Israel quickly,” Herzog said Thursday during a speech marking Sigd, an ancient Ethiopian holiday dedicated to celebrating the return to Jerusalem after exile.

The Ethiopian government declared a nationwide state of emergency on Tuesday and rival Tigray forces are threatening to topple the capital Addis Ababa.
