Majority of Recent Ethiopian Immigrants to Israel are Christians, Allowed Entry to Unite Families
(Jerusalem Post) Zvika Klein - 2/3 of the immigrants from Ethiopia to Israel between 2020 and 2022 identified as Christians, according to official data. Out of more than 5,000 immigrants, 3,301 identified as Christians, while 1,773 identified as descendants of Jews. None were eligible for aliyah under the Law of Return. Their aliyah is considered a humanitarian act of family reunification. It is now assumed that many members of the "Jewish communities" in Ethiopia actually practice a different religion.
