Olmert honors Ethiopian Jews who died on journey to Israel

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert participated in a ceremony on Mt. Herzel in Jerusalem on Wednesday in honor of the 4,000 Ethiopian Jews who perished on their journey to Israel. A monument commemorating them was unveiled at the ceremony.

 

"I know that the promised land has not been kind to the immigrants," said Olmert at the ceremony," the state of Israel has made many efforts to absorb the Ethiopian immigration, and I promise that it will continue to invest all that is necessary." (Lilach Shoval)
