The Jewish agency "Dry", engaged in repatriation to Israel, plans to transfer the activities of his Moscow office to Israel and online. About this writes The Jerusalem Post.
According to the publication, for this, Israel plans to send a negotiation delegation to Moscow, consisting of employees of the office of the Prime Minister and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Justice, Aliyah and Integration. Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid instructed her members to be ready for departure immediately after receiving permission from Moscow. They must agree that “dry” can help Russian Jews remotely.
As the Jerusalem Post told in the “dry” itself, even if the repatriation process can be transferred online, its level will sharply decrease in the coming years. The promotion of repatriation in Russia will become more complicated, and some people, especially the elderly, will be difficult to interact with the agency without personal communication.
On July 21, the Department of the Ministry of Justice in Moscow demanded to eliminate the Drokun branch. A few weeks before that, the Russian authorities demanded that the Jewish agency stop activities in Russia. This decision was made against the backdrop of the growing tension between Israel and Russia due to Jerusalem’s position in relation to the war in Ukraine and its support for Kyiv support.
