About 300 immigrant families will settle in Galilee next year it was announced by Uzi Narkiss, director general of the Jewish Agency’s immigration and absorption department. Narkiss met Haim Hacham, government coordinator in Galilee. He informed him that immigrants will be directed to several development towns in the north, among them Upper Nazareth and Karmiel.
The two officials agreed to prepare a three-year plan for the absorption of immigrants in Galilee. The plan will be part of a comprehensive five-year plan aimed at bringing 1000 families to Galilee. A special pamphlet on Galilee will be published in four languages–English, Spanish, Russia and French–to be distributed among potential immigrants.
