Beta Israel Beta Israel Recent Situation

According to Israel's return law, only Jews can immigrate to Israel. 1974, the last Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie was overthrown, the domestic political situation was turbulent, and famines occurred one after another. A large number of falasha fled their homes and took refuge abroad. At this time, Israel began to accept Farasha immigrants in the name of "humanitarian relief". In the following 10 years, about 8,000 falasha immigrated to Israel. 1985, Israel implemented the immigration plan code-named "Operation Moses" and airlifted 7,000 farasand to Israel. 1991may, when the regime changed in Ethiopia, Israel adopted a secret rescue plan called "Operation Solomon". Within 30 hours from 24th to the next day, 4/kloc-0 air force planes were dispatched and more than 1 000 farazas were delivered to Israel. In this way, almost all falasha left Ethiopia. Israel has accepted 30,000 Dofara sand immigrants. After Solomon's action, Israel's immigration policy began to relax. In the past 15 years, more than 25,000 people immigrated from Farache. In February 2003, the Israeli government decided to "urgently accept" another 20,000 Farache Mras. However, it was later calculated that there may still be 26,000 people in Ethiopia who want to immigrate to Israel. From transportation, resettlement to employment, it is necessary to pay about $654.38 million+for each immigrant. It will cost a lot of money to solve the immigration problem of these Farah Mla people at once. Therefore, the Israeli government has to decide to immigrate by stages and groups, and limit the number of immigrants to 300 per month. This will take about five years, and the migration will be completed around 2007. It is reported that up to now, there are still about10.5 million Mla people in Falace waiting for the Israeli authorities to examine their identity and receive preliminary immigration training in Ethiopian cities such as Addis Ababa and Gondel. In May 2005, The Jerusalem Post reported that tens of thousands of Ethiopians also called themselves "Beta Israel" and asked to immigrate to Israel in the poor mountainous area south of Lake Tana. In his early years, even Haile Selassie, the last Christian emperor born in Amhara, called himself "Beta Israel". Obviously, some Ethiopians disguised themselves as Jews to escape poverty. Therefore, the Israeli government has decided to strictly examine Ethiopian immigrant applicants one by one from the aspects of family background, descent and religious beliefs in the future to prevent non-Jews from mixing in.
