Hillel Israel's announcement regarding recent legislative changes in Israel:

We call on the Israeli government not to ignore the global Jewish community when it comes to making critical decisions involving the Jewish State and the Jewish people.

The exclusion of Diaspora Jews, who hold a wide range of Jewish outlooks alongside a deep and lasting commitment to Israel, is an outcome that the Jewish people cannot afford.
