GAZA, July 8 (NNN-KUNA) -- Israeli authorities have been exerting efforts to encourage Iranian Jews to immigrate to Israel, an Israeli newspaper said in a report published on Sunday.

"Ma'ariv" said the Tel Aviv authorities were trying to encourage 20,000 Jews in Iran to settle in Israel with financial incentives.

The Israeli Government offers 5,000 US dollars to any Iranian Jew who may choose to live in Israel.

Donors also pay USD 10,000 to an Iranian Jewish family that comes to Israel for permanent living.

Thousands of Jews from around the globe, including Russia, the United States and some European countries, have immigrated to Israel since its proclamation in 1948.

Tehran, July 10, IRNA

Iran-Jewish Community
Iranian Jewish community on Tuesday refuted Israeli offer for the Jews to go to the occupied Palestinian territories in return for money.

Leaders of the Iranian Jewish Community, Siamak Marreh-Sedgh and Member of Parliament from the Jewish society Morris Mo'tamed said in a strongly worded statement that Iranian Jewish citizens will never exchange their identity with money.

The western media had reported that Israel offered dlrs 60,000 reward for attracting Iranian Jewish families to the occupied lands of Palestine.

But Iranian Jewish people do not show any interest in immigration to the occupied territories of Palestine for the reason of enjoying full religious freedom in Iran.

Recently an Israeli agency reported a fall in level of Jewish immigration to the occupied territories of Palestine.

The statement said that Iranian Jews are of the oldest Iranians and love their pure culture and Iranian identity.

They also noted that political threats or bribing never have been successful in changing the identity of the Iranian Jews.
