The Russian authorities demanded that the “Jewish Agency) stop activities in Russia. As the Jerusalem Post writes with reference to sources, the organization received such a letter at the beginning of this week.
The “Sokhnut” confirmed the receipt of the letter, but did not comment on the answer, which is under consideration in the organization’s office in Jerusalem. The answer will be agreed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
“As part of the work of the delegation of the Jewish agency in Russia, from time to time, certain adjustments are required from time to time, as required by the authorities … Contacts with the authorities are constantly taking place in order to continue our activities in accordance with the rules established by the competent authorities. Even Today, such a dialogue takes place, ”the comment quoted“ Dog ”.
The Jerusalem Post drew attention to the fact that, despite the sedative tone of the explanation, the indication of the “suspend work” was obtained during the period of exacerbation of tension in relations between Israel and Russia, which the Israeli policy of Kyiv’s support, with all its halfness and ambiguity , categorically does not suit. A day ago, the Russian Foreign Ministry once again called Israeli strikes “unacceptable” to Syria and demanded an unconditional cessation of these attacks.
The publication writes that the “dramatic order” to the Jewish agency can stop working can sharply brake the process of repatriation of the Jews who are still in Russia. Thousands of them have already finished drawing up documents and are waiting only for suitable flights. Unnamed high -ranking sources in the Jewish community in Russia reported that Russian Jews feel anxiously how the iron curtain was falling in front of them, and they fear that, having missed the moment, they will not be able to leave the country.
