Jewish Immigration to Israel Surges Following October 7 Attack
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – In a possible response to the global outbreak of antisemtism that followed Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel last year, almost 30,000 Jews have immigrated to the Jewish state since the massacre, the Times of Israel reports. This surge in ‘Aliyah’ is the largest since 2022 when, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, 73,000 Ukrainian and Russian immigrated to Israel.
In a statement Tuesday, World Zionist Organization said nearly 29,000 people moved to Israel under the Law of Return in the last 11 months, TOI reports. Aliyah came to a virtual standstill immediately following the Hamas genocidal attack in which some 1,200 mostly civilian people were murdered and around 251 men, women, children, babies and elderly were abducted to Gaza.
”On October 7th, a war erupted not against the state of Israel, but against the Jewish people. Today, in many countries around the world, it is hard to be a Jew, whether at school, at work, or at prayer,” Hagoel said.
The Nefesh B’Nefesh organization which assists Jewish immigration to Israel from the United States said in a separate statement that the recent surge was all the more remarkable given that Aliyah numbers typically decline during the fall and winter, TOI noted.
Confirming the phenomenon, Jewish Agency spokesperson Yigal Palmor told the Forward media outlet: “We have registered, however, a remarkable leap in aliyah applications, mostly in the US and France, but also in Canada and the UK. This means the tide will certainly turn in the coming months, when the security situation will stabilize, as we all hope.”
