Jerusalem, 24 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) — The 800th British immigrant of 2025 arrived in Israel, marking a milestone in the ongoing wave of immigration from Western countries, Israel’s Ministry of Immigration and Absorption announced on Wednesday.
The Donitz family — Simon, Deborah, and their two young children — arrived from at Ben-Gurion Airport.
“Immigration to Israel is a profound expression of Zionism, mutual guarantee and faith in the future of the country. We continue to work to enable every Jew who is interested in immigrating to Israel to receive a warm home and optimal absorption here,” said Minister of Aliyah and Absorption Ofir Sofer as he welcomed the family.
Since the start of 2025, more than 29,000 immigration files have been opened worldwide, the ministry added.
