På söndag kväll avslutades en operation som förde de sista judarna från Jemen till Israel.Omkring 200 judar har i hemlighet räddats från inbördeskriget i Jemen under de senaste åren. De senaste dagarna har 19 personer kommit till Israel.
Över 50.000 judar har flyttat från Jemen till Israel sedan 1948, de flesta kom under operationen Magic Carpet 1949-1950.
Några personer valde att stanna kvar i Jemen, ungefär 50 personer, 40 av dem i Saana.
Judarna har en 2000 år lång historia i Jemen men den fasen är nu avslutad.
Räddningsoperationen har fördömts på sociala medier i Jemen, också en PLO diplomat har anklagat Abbas för att ha hjälpt till att "föra erövrare till vårt hemland".

At long last, the final group of Yemenite Jewish immigrants landed in Israel on March 20, 2016, following a complex covert operation coordinated by The Jewish Agency for Israel, thus bringing the historic story of Yemeni Aliyah to a close. Some two hundred Jews have been secretly rescued from Yemen by The Jewish Agency in recent years, including several dozen in recent months, as attacks against the Jewish community have increased and the country has descended into civil war..."
