At the same time, we have invested vast budgets of tens of millions on the absorption and integration of the immigrants, and in advancing and strengthening the community in various fields, and we will also continue to do this.
PM Netanyahu: "A few days ago, I spoke with another friend of mine, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia @AbiyAhmedAli. He said that he will give all assistance to the important action that we are now doing.
