Yemen's Last Jews to Move to UAE?

Hamodia:

Yemen’s last remaining Jews are to emigrate to Abu Dhabi following the announcement Thursday that Israel and the United Arab Emirates will normalize diplomatic ties and forge a broad new relationship, a Yemeni Rabbi has told The New Arab’s Arabic-language service.

Over 50,000 Jews lived in Yemen prior to the creation of Israel in 1948. Between June 1949 and September 1950, the overwhelming majority of Yemen’s Jewish population was transported to Israel in Operation Magic Carpet. After several waves of persecution throughout Yemen, most Yemenite Jews now live in Israel, while smaller communities live in the United States and elsewhere. Only a few dozen remain in Yemen. Their exact number is unknown.

The Rabbi, who preferred to remain anonymous for security reasons, said that plans are under way to end the Jewish presence in Yemen and transfer 100 people to Abu Dhabi.

The remaining Yemeni Jews have rejected previous proposals to emigrate to Israel and to the United States, despite the brutal war which has affected Yemen since 2015 and anti-Semitic discrimination against them by the Houthi rebels, who control the capital Sanaa and whose slogans include the words “A curse on the Jews.”

According to the report, 40 Jewish Yemenis have already agreed to move to the UAE, which has offered to take them in following a request from the U.S., while the others are being persuaded to move on the grounds that they will have no problem integrating into Emirati society.

The UAE has reportedly requested that Iran, which backs the Houthi movement, help facilitate the travel of the Yemeni Jews to Abu Dhabi.

Very interesting, but if the UAE is so anti-Iran, I don't know why Iran would help resettle Jews to the UAE. Nor do I think anyone should trust Iran to resettle Jews with Iran's brutal record with emigrating Jews.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that reports of the last remaining Jews from Yemen having left were reported.  I blogged about a similar report 7.5 years ago.

This time, it may be inappropriate to use the verse וּלְתֵימָן אַל-תִּכְלָאִי being that they are not immigrating to Israel.  On the other hand, going to the UAE may just be a pit-stop.

In regard to my previous post where I said that the peace deal between Israel and the UAE seems to be the Retzon Hashem, we see further proof to this from what's going on with the Yemenite Jews.

May Hashem allow these Jews to have peace and security until the coming of Mashiah, who should come speedily.
