Nearly 150 Jewish immigrants from North America are expected to arrive at Ben-Gurion Airport on Thursday aboard six separate group flights, with close to 100 landing within a single half-hour window in the morning, according to data reported by The Jerusalem Post.
The expected arrivals are part of an ongoing summer immigration drive organized by the organization Nefesh B'Nefesh, operating in coordination with 'Israeli' ministries.
Between June and September, over 2,200 North American immigrants, comprising roughly 480 families, are scheduled to arrive on nearly 100 group flights originating from major cities across the United States and Canada.

Demographic shifts
The surge in North American immigration comes as 'Israeli' state institutions and affiliated non-governmental organizations step up efforts to boost Jewish immigration to offset demographic shifts and strengthen domestic manpower across key sectors.
These arrival programs are heavily backed by the 'Israeli' Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, alongside international agencies that facilitate financial incentives, tax exemptions, and integration support for incoming Western nationals.
Palestinian rights organizations and international observers point out that state-sponsored immigration drives operate alongside ongoing policies aimed at consolidating demographic control across historic Palestine.
While new immigrants from Western nations are provided immediate citizenship and state benefits under 'Israel's' Law of Return, millions of displaced Palestinians forcibly expelled from their towns and villages during the 1948 Nakba and subsequent conflicts remain systematically denied their internationally recognized right of return.
