The flights were organized by the 'Israeli' Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, bringing the total number of French immigrants who have arrived during the summer campaign to approximately 800.
The new arrivals landed at Ben Gurion Airport, where they were welcomed by 'Israeli' Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Aliyah and Integration Minister Ofir Sofer, and members of the Bnei Akiva youth movement.
'Israeli' officials said the latest arrivals reflect a continued rise in Jewish immigration from France. According to the 'Israeli' Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, more than 6,500 French Jews have relocated to 'Israel' since October 2023.
The 'Israeli' government has continued to encourage Jewish immigration through aliyah programs, offering financial assistance and integration support to new arrivals. The Summer 2026 campaign is part of those ongoing efforts to facilitate immigration from Jewish communities abroad.
