Jewish Agency chairman Maj. Gen. (res.) Doron Almog claimed that the agency expects one million olim (new immigrants) in Israel during the next few years. Speaking to N12, Almog said on Tuesday, "Over the next few years, we anticipate a million new immigrants due to the increasing antisemitism in Jewish communities around the world."
Family members of Almog were murdered in Kfar Aza during the October 7 massacre.
"We will persist in constructing communities around Gaza and also in the northern regions. Our mission is to bring them all back home."
He added: "The Jewish community, still reeling from the trauma, will forge ahead in building the State of Israel with unparalleled vigor and creativity. We aspire to become a beacon of hope and inspiration for the nations of the world."
