In Israel on Monday. 17 families of Kosovar refugeesthe first of hundreds yet to comearrived to a warm welcome led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara. Among those that arrived on Monday were Lamia Jaka. the daughter of righteous gentiles Dervish and Servet Kurkut of Kosovo. and her husband Vlaznim.
