Jewish Agency Chairman: More Jews Rethinking Life Abroad Post-October 7
Major General (res.) Doron Almog, Chairman of The Jewish Agency, stated in an interview at the ynet Global Aliyah Live conference that an increasing number of Jews are reconsidering their futures abroad. He identified two pivotal events since 2023 that have dramatically shifted this discourse: the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent rise in global antisemitism.
Almog explained that following these events, Jews from Australia, the United Kingdom, France, South Africa, and the United States have begun to re-evaluate where they wish to build their futures. This sentiment reflects a growing concern among Jewish communities worldwide about their safety and belonging in their current countries of residence.
The chairman's remarks highlight a trend of increased interest in immigration to Israel, often referred to as "Aliyah," among Jewish populations facing heightened antisemitic threats or seeking a stronger connection to their heritage in light of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
