Elder of Ziyon
Lebanon's Al Akhbar makes the reason for that interest explicit:
As usually happens with the outbreak of a war or crisis, the Israeli government exploited the tension between Ukraine and Russia to bring in the Jews of Ukraine, where the Jewish community numbered nearly 200,000.This intersects with what was reported by the Israel Hayom newspaper today that various government ministries, the Israeli army, the Jewish Agency and other government bodies are preparing to absorb a “wave of Jewish immigration from Ukraine” and have developed a detailed “contingency plan” due to the outbreak of war there.
Wars create refugees. NGOs plead with countries to accept refugees in their borders, as nations try to find excuses why the refugees should go elsewhere.
Unlike other countries, Israel has prepared to take in many refugees ahead of time in line with its desire to provide a safe haven for Jews worldwide.
And it is being spun as an evil Zionist plot to exploit a crisis.
Yes, that is antisemitism.
