'European anti-Semitism has reached unprecedented levels' Bennett presents statistics on continental Jewish life in 2015; WZO: 67% of Israelis concerned for the lives of Jews abroad.
Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett painted a dark picture of Jewish life in Europe on Sunday, telling the cabinet anti-Semitism on the Continent has reached an "unprecedented" level.
The minister briefs the government on such trends every year immediately prior to International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls on Wednesday, January 27.
Jewish emigration from Western Europe had a "record year" in 2015, Bennett said, referring to the almost 7,000 Frenchmen who arrived in Israel over the past year.
