Israel will experience a massive increase in immigration from Western countries including the United States, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told cabinet members during a recent meeting.
According to a report by Israel Hayom Monday morning, during the course of Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting, the prime minister predicted that Israel’s economic growth will surpass that of the United States.
Coupled with Israel’s entry into the US visa waiver program, the Jewish state’s strengthening economy will attract significantly more American Jewish immigrants.
"Israel's economy is getting stronger; we will outpace the US, and we have already outpaced Europe," Netanyahu said, according to the report.
"We will lead to aliyah from the West by would-be immigrants wishing to improve their [financial] wellbeing. Of course, there is also the rise of antisemitism, but this will not be the only driving force for moving to Israel, the flow will be great."
Netanyahu touted his foreign currency market reforms in the mid-1990s, arguing that market liberalization would fuel not only economic growth but also immigration to Israel.
