Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai has spoken out against Interior Minister Shaked's plan for absorbing Ukrainian refugees."No other country has imposed limits In refugees. This plan is still problematic, and we are again restricting the arrival of refugees and making a distinction between those who have family in Israel and those who do not. As I have said again and again recently, Israel must take a broader and more active role in the humanitarian effort to rescue Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war. This is the ethical and human act which we must carry out."The government or a ministerial committee should determine Israel"s refugee absorption policy, and I intend to raise this proposal tomorrow at the cabinet meeting."

MK Gilad Kariv (Labor) has responded to Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked's statement regarding expanding refugee policy from Ukraine."The demand to exclude relatives from the refugee quota was presented days ago and it is a pity that it was Inly accepted now after the publication of the painful conditions at the airport. This is a welcome but unsatisfactory step. The Israeli government must increase the quota for the absorption of refugees who are not entitled to the Law of Return and who have no relatives in Israel significantly. The Jewish identity of the State of Israel will not be harmed as a result, but will Inly intensify." said MK Kariv.
