MK Moshe Solomon (Likud) spoke in an interview on the Knesset Channel's program 'Ishiyut Ishit' with Moran Azulai, recounting his family's journey from Ethiopia to Israel. Solomon said he was five years old when he herded sheep in Ethiopia, and at age six the family embarked on a 1,000-kilometer trek on foot hoping to reach Jerusalem. He described how his father identified a mark in the sand and ordered the family to dig, finding water that saved them from dying in the desert. The interview is airing Wednesday evening at 21:00 on Knesset Channel 99. The story reflects the experiences of Ethiopian Jewish immigrants who made their way to Israel in multiple waves of aliyah, often facing extreme hardship along the route.
