The Fellowship just welcomed over 100 new olim (immigrants) from France and other areas of Europe, reports JNS:

Over 100 new immigrants from Europe arrived in Israel on Wednesday, just one day after the ceasefire with Iran took effect, according to Israel’s Aliyah and Integration Ministry.

Most of the 110 new immigrants on the flight—which had been scheduled before the war began—are from France, with the rest coming from the United Kingdom, Spain and the Netherlands.

“In other countries, when there is war people flee, but in our country, people come to join us,” Aliyah and Integration Minister Ofir Sofer said at a welcoming ceremony at the airport.

Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews—one of the main partners in the effort—described the new immigrants as “the true heroes of our age.”
