Israel's Consul General in New York warned that the country must prepare for record-breaking waves of immigration in 2027, citing rising antisemitism globally. The statement adds to a series of warnings from Israeli diplomats about the deteriorating security situation for Jews abroad.
In a statement reported Tuesday, Israel's Consul General in New York Ofir Akunis said the country must prepare for record immigration waves in 2027 due to growing antisemitism. 'The State of Israel must seriously prepare for 2027, for record-breaking waves of immigration,' he said, according to a report. The warning comes as Israeli diplomats have increasingly highlighted the rise in antisemitic incidents globally. As The Zioneer has reported, Akunis previously warned of the 'immediate and real danger' posed by New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and discussed the Montreal shooting with Canadian counterparts. The new statement underscores the consul general's focus on the link between antisemitism and the need for Israel to serve as a refuge for Jews.
