The Israeli government has approved a mass immigration of the Bnei Menashe community, fulfilling a 2,700-year-old aspiration. The new arrivals will settle in northern Israel, particularly in the Galilee region, as part of a strategy to develop and strengthen the area. Officials described the move as a significant step in reconnecting families and reinforcing the nation's presence in the north. The decision is seen as both a symbolic and practical renewal of ties with a community that has maintained a deep connection to Israel for generations.
