Israel and Jewish organizations express concerns over unstable Russia.

Jewish organizations express concern for the safety of Jews and citizens in Russia following the rebellion within the Wagner Group, a paramilitary organization once closely associated with the Russian government. Israeli lawmaker Oded Forer calls for a discussion on immigration from Russia to Israel, citing an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 Israeli citizens currently in Russia and over 500,000 Jews entitled to the Law of Return. The situation in Russia is unstable, and there are concerns about the security of the Jewish community. Additionally, there are online antisemitic posts about the Jewish heritage of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group.
