Gaza : Israeli authorities have been exerting efforts to encourage Iranian Jews to immigrate to Israel, an Israeli newspaper said in a report published on Sunday.
"Ma'ariv" said the Tel Aviv authorities were trying to encourage 20,000 Jews in Iran to settle in Israel with financial incentives.
The Israeli Government offers 5,000 US dollars to any Iranian Jew who may choose to live in Israel.
Donors also pay USD 10,000 to an Iranian Jewish family that comes to Israel for permanent living.
Thousands of Jews from around the globe, including Russia, the United States and some European countries, have immigrated to Israel since its proclamation in 1948.
