The United Arab Emirates’ official news agency reported this morning (Tuesday) the rescue of two Jewish families from Sanaa in Yemen and their transfer to Dubai, where they will live.
The Habib and Salem families, who have relatives in London, have no plans to immigrate to Israel and are interested in staying in Dubai. They were invited to come to her by United Arab Emirates.

A member of the Habib family said in a video published in the Emirates media: “On behalf of the families I thank the President of the UAE. May God bless him for all that is done for us. For 20 years we have had no opportunity to be in touch with our families outside Yemen.”
Since 2015, there has been a bloody war in Yemen between the Saudi coalition and the pro-Iranian Houthi militia. Tens of thousands of people were killed during the battles and the Jews were subjected to a real threat to their lives. There are only a few Jewish families left in the country. It is estimated that this is only 4-3.
