Protesters gather at Knesset to demand government facilitate Ethiopian immigration

Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the Knesset on Sunday, urging the government to resume and fund the immigration of about 10,000 relatives of Israelis of Ethiopian descent. The protest comes amid ongoing violence in Ethiopia's Tigray region and follows a halt in government-supported immigration for the community. Many protesters, supported by advocacy groups, accuse the government of discriminatory policies and neglect, especially as other immigrant groups have been admitted during recent crises. Government officials say they are reviewing the situation, but community leaders vow to continue their campaign until their families are reunited.
