At this time. Ethiopian Jews are severely restricted in their ability to move about in Ethiopia or to leave Ethiopia. The Governments position is hostile to Israel. which has prevented emigration from Ethiopia to Israel. It is my hope that the Ethiopian Government will change its policies on emigration and permit the Ethiopian Jews to emigrate so that family reunification can take place. The Bible tells us that a remnant shall survive. The Ethiopian Jews are living proof that this has occurred. The current pressures on the community are such that continued survival is in doubt. I urge the Ethiopian Government to ensure the survival of this group by lifting internal restrictions and permitting family reunification through emigration.*
