The decision of the Minister of the Interior was based on the recommendation of the Director General of the Population and Immigration Authority, Mr. Eyal Sisou, according to which, according to the opinion of the professionals in the Authority and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it appears that there is no danger to Ethiopian citizens returning to their country, including Ethiopians from the Tigray region, and therefore there is no obstacle to the return of Ethiopian citizens , including Ethiopian citizens from Tigray, back to their country.
In light of this, the Population and Immigration Authority wishes to inform all Ethiopian citizens staying in Israel that they are requested to return to their country voluntarily, within 30 days of the publication of this notice. The representatives of the Authority will assist each applicant regarding his return to his country.
