01 · THE DISPATCH
The arrival of 128 olim from France at Ben Gurion Airport this morning opens the summer 2026 aliyah season. The group includes families and young professionals, reflecting a continued trend of Jewish immigration from Western Europe amid rising antisemitism and strong ties to Israel. Last summer saw approximately 4,500 olim from France, and organizers expect similar numbers this year. No further details on absorption plans or ceremonies have been announced yet.
