EthiopiaEthiopian Jews Evacuated to Israel in 'Frantic Push'
Israel facilitated a rapid evacuation of approximately 14,000-14,500 Ethiopian Jews to Israel within 36 hours using 34 chartered aircraft.
Background
Ethiopian Jews, also known as Beta Israel, have a long history of migration to Israel, often due to famine, conflict, or religious persecution in Ethiopia. Israel's Law of Return grants Jews the right to settle in Israel and gain citizenship, leading to several large-scale operations over decades to bring Ethiopian Jews to the country.
