Aliyah from Britain and North America will continue despite Israel’s coronavirus lockdown, the Jewish Agency and Aliyah organisation Nefesh b’Nefesh organisation have said.
A flight of 24 olim will be arriving in Israel from the US on Thursday — the first organised aliyah since coronavirus hit Israel in late February.
Israel has moved to restrict the entry of non-Israelis into the country, requiring them to prove that they can self-quarantine at home for two weeks upon their arrival.
It was thought that the imposition of stringent regulations on new arrivals would force the cancellation of flights for olim.
