So far in 2021,

the number of Argentines who emigrated to Israel

grew by

48%

, compared to the same period last year.

This week alone

,

140 will leave

, according to the Jewish News Agency (AJN).

“With respect to the rest of the Latin American countries, Argentina presents a number of immigration to Israel that is

higher than the region

.

However, between Chile, Uruguay and Brazil they make up a 20% increase in general immigration ”, explained

Yigal Palmor

, director of International Relations of the Jewish Agency, an organization in charge of centralizing immigration or entry procedures to Israel.

Palmor referred to Argentine immigration and assured that the

adverse economic situations

of a country "help families and individuals to make the decision to make an '

alía'

(immigrate)."

"Aliyah has

never stopped

since the pandemic began, except for the first short time, which was a bit uncertain, but it resumed quickly," he specified, adding that the demand for consultations also increased.

For his part, Leonardo Naijdorf, a reference for the

Kerem Leyedidut

in Argentina, one of the organizations dedicated to immigration to Israel, said that in Argentina "the number of people who choose to travel to Israel

has grown exponentially

."

This week alone, 140 Argentines will leave for Israel.

"The volume

has doubled

and this means that all the organizations of the State of Israel dedicated to immigration have to improve to contain this demand," he added.

“Many people from the interior of the country are part of the new migrations to Israel.

This helps to convey to people that

the distance from Buenos Aires is not an impediment

to advance with their projects and dreams, "Naijdorf told AJN.

“During this year we have already exceeded 400 people.

We are talking about more than 600

leaving

in 2020. With half a year still to go, it is believed that the projection of this

will grow enormously,

"he explained.

In addition, it is expected that advances in the world regarding the issue of vaccination and health policies will provide in the near future time and processes of people to go to Israel.

Both officials agreed that Israel "continues to be a state that has in its DNA the will and

passion to receive Jews from around the world

."

They explained that, unlike other countries in the world,

immigration is not a problem

in Israel

.

"It is a country that encourages it, and provides help and incentives, and facilities. That is something that must always be celebrated and taken advantage of," they estimated.
