The ninth and final flight to bring 2,000 Jewish Ethiopians to Israel landed at Ben-Gurion Airport Thursday.
The initiative, dubbed Operation Rock of Israel, began last December and was orchestrated by Aliyah and Integration Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata.
The immigrants will be quarantined and reunited with their families in Israel.
The welcoming of the immigrants at the airport was modest with the previously planned ceremony canceled due to political involvement and a Tamano-Shata claiming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was turning it into a "political circus."
