00:00Today is a beautiful day, huge excitement.
00:21Olim Khadashim, newcomers, arriving to Israel from Europe,
00:26mainly from France, United Kingdom, more countries, 110.
00:31At this time of war, a day after the ceasefire,
00:36started in a huge operation, Rising Lion in Iran, huge victory.
00:43But Israel is very risky.
00:46And the whole idea of Israel is in gathering Jews,
00:50in gathering Jews from all over the world.
00:53What is the motivation of Jews to come to Israel,
00:57this risky place, unconditional love?
01:00It's something not rational.
01:02Bring Jews at this horrific time to live here, to join.
01:06I see the young generation, many of them saying,
01:09I want to join the IDF, the Israel Defense Forces.
01:12I want to protect the country.
01:14I faced antisemitism in France.
01:16I faced antisemitism growing overseas.
01:19I want to be here.
01:22Today.
01:30I met wins my best dreams!
01:31How did you visit Isra they get to go over that place?
01:36What did you visit here?
01:38So for me,
01:39Perd Susan, oblivion of the peace,
01:40I try to survive.
01:41So for me,
01:42Elia was kind of a dream.
01:43I've been wanting to live in Israel,
01:46since my family made Alia so it was a long time ago but I was already with my
01:52husband and he was not really ready so that's why we're waiting for we've been
01:58waiting for so long and yeah so today is like a dream coming true yeah France is
02:05a nice place to live especially for us because we were very lucky to live in a
02:09protected area where like I know there's a lot of anti-semitism going on in
02:15France right now but where we live it was still okay but I don't know I think
02:22Zionism is not something you can explain when you love Israel you just love Israel
02:26and I think for me Israel is home and I don't know how to explain this feeling
02:33actually
02:35I decided to come to Israel with my family because for me and for us it's
02:49our land and we have to be there and we know that it's not easy but for Jewish
02:56people I I think we have waited to be to be there
