News from Al-Madinah: According to a survey by the British daily “The Guardian,” one in eight Russian Jews have emigrated, and the trend is growing.
Although the Israeli occupation authorities have prepared a migration wave from Ukraine, and about 13,000 Jews have since arrived, it was unexpectedly that the number of Russia has been twice as much from Russia.
A large number of Russian celebrities, including the variety star Ala Bougatheva and her comedian husband, Maxim Galkin and rock star Andre McCarvich, left for “Israel” when the Russian attack on Ukraine began, according to Agence France -Presse.
Nearly 60,000 new immigrants entered “Israel” during the previous Jewish year, according to the Israeli Ministry of Immigration and Integration; this number is anticipated to increase to 64,000 by the conclusion of the assessment year.
47 percent of the new immigrants to “Israel” came from Russia, while 25 percent came from Ukraine.
Due to the enormous influx from Russia and Ukraine, the ministry anticipated that “Israel” will record a figure of two decades of immigration this year.
On the paradox, “Israel” is the destination of Russian and Ukrainian Jews together, where they meet there to escape the war.
The immigration process for the Ukrainians, who were classified as refugees, was accelerated, but the unexpected demand from the Russians to immigrate overwhelmed the work of the Jewish Agency, which has worked for decades to displace the Jews to occupied Palestine.
According to the “Guardian,” 35,000 additional Russians are awaiting immigration documents in addition to the 26,000 who have already arrived in “Israel” this year.
Since June, when the Russian Ministry of Justice suggested that the organisation be shut down for breaking the country’s privacy rules, causing a diplomatic disagreement between the two governments, the Jewish Agency has been operating in Moscow at risk.
The Jewish Agency started operating in Russia in 1989, or two years before the Soviet Union fell. After the Soviet Union fell, hundreds of thousands of Jews came to Russia from all over the former Soviet Union, and they have since grown into a significant political force that entitles them to 15 Knesset seats.
According to the “Guardian,” Putin’s military preparations caused an unprecedented stampede on flights to “Israel,” where Russian residents are still welcome as tourists.
On September 21, Putin made the “partial” mobilisation announcement, which includes 300,000 reserve personnel with military experience or relevant abilities.
The municipal administration offices throughout Russia witnessed “huge increases in people looking for records to learn more about their Jewish origins,” according to the Guardian.
The majority of their requests came from “tiny mothers who aspire to withdraw their children from Russia to avoid war and mobilisation,” and they seek documents attesting to the “Jewish ancestry of their grandparents,” which would open the doors of immigration to “Israel.”

Since the start of the war, 39,000 Russians and Ukrainians have fled to Israel.
