Eisenkot's Yashar unveils plan to support new olim integrating into Israel

Yashar, the party led by Gadi Eisenkot, unveiled a plan on Sunday to support new immigrants, or olim, integrating into Israeli society. If elected, the party aims to achieve a goal of two million olim by 2048. The plan seeks to simplify, make accessible, and enhance the effectiveness of absorption into Israeli society, according to a statement from the party.

The three key points of the plan include establishing a unified framework to support olim from abroad until their complete integration into Israel. This framework aims to bring together resources to assist immigrants across various areas, such as language, education, and access to rights. Additionally, the plan focuses on facilitating entry into employment suited to olim's skills, with efforts to make international degrees recognized in Israel, provide lessons in professional and practical Hebrew, and connect olim directly with employers.

The final step of the new aliyah absorption plan is to remove barriers that hinder integration by making essential services accessible in different languages, including banking and social support. Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot emphasized the importance of the State of Israel, stating that its strength lies in the ingathering of exiles, constant development, and the aspiration to lead in every field.

He added, "We will propose a national plan that will call on young people to return home and Jews around the world to make aliyah to Israel, because this is our national home and the country that should be the most advanced and leading in the world."

Yashar's aliyah absorption program leader, Alex Rif, highlighted that aliyah is not a favor done for immigrants but rather the miracle that established the state and allows it to flourish. He expressed his vision for an Israel where every immigrant feels that not only did they choose it, but it chose them as well.
