The Exceptions Committee which authorizes arrivals to Israel has greenlit the arrival of about 300 Ethiopian Jews currently waiting in refugee camps in the war-torn country.
All arrivals will undergo coronavirus testing before take-off, and upon arrival will be transferred to isolation.
"Since the establishment of Israel until today, even in times of war and crisis, the immigration of Jews from around the world has never ceased," said Immigration Minister Pnina Tamano Shata.
