French emigration to Israel reaches record high

In the wake of last year's deadly attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris, Benjamin Netanyahu called on France's Jewish community to emigrate to Israel, a practice also known as Aliyah. One year on, it appears that his call was heard. With a 10% rise on the previous year, figures for 2015 indicate that a record 7,900 French nationals left for Israel. This makes France the top country of Jewish emigration for the second year running.
