Israel to take in 8000 Ethiopians

JERUSALEM, AFP - The Israeli cabinet has voted to bring to the country about 8000 Ethiopians who claim Jewish descent, saying they are living in conditions of disease and hunger.
"There are about 8000 women, men and children living in the most severe humanitarian conditions," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet session on Sunday.
"We have a moral commitment as Jews, as the People of Israel, to find a solution."
