Director General of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC), Dr. Haim Ben Yakov, and EAJC Treasurer Menachem Bushuev held a working meeting with the Israeli Minister of Aliyah and Integration, Ofir Sofer. During the conversation, the parties stressed the importance of maintaining a continuous repatriation process and providing maximum assistance to all repatriates arriving in the State of Israel, which remains the national home for Jews worldwide.

The EAJC Director General stressed that the proposals being discussed in Israeli society regarding changes to the law of return could significantly impact the relationship of the Jewish Diaspora with the State of Israel and inter-communal Jewish life. Therefore, it is essential to create a forum/platform for a broad dialogue among the leaders of the Jewish organizations of the Diaspora with the government of the State of Israel.
