Policies governing the selection of immigrants to Israel will be relaxed, it was indicated here today after a meeting between representatives of the Jewish Agency and the Israel Government held In the Premier’s office.
Among other matters, it was decided that persons who left Israel and now would like to return will be given another opportunity to settle in Israel provided they agree to live and work in an agricultural settlement. The top age limit for the acceptance of skilled immigrants has been extended to 50, instead of the 45 which was the top previously.
