Around 300 Ukrainian Jewish refugees landed in Israel on March 6, among those some 90 orphans between the ages of two and 12, in the first round of what Israeli government officials are expecting to be a wave of thousands in the coming months, the JTA website reports today (March 8, 2022).
They were flown on three planes from Moldova, Romania, and Poland.
Whether Israel will accept Ukrainian refugees who are not Jewish and therefore ineligible for Israeli citizenship under the country's Law of Return, is unclear.
