Only 100 Jews left Turkey for Israel during the month of February, it was reported here today. It is unlikely that the migration of Turkish Jews to Israel will reach greater proportions in the future.

The Jewish communities of Bursa, Edirne, Canakkale, Ankara and Adana have already been reduced by half. According to reports received here, immigration to Israel from these areas has ceased.
