Ministry of Aliyah and Integration
Israeli ministry
The Ministry of Aliyah and Integration is an Israeli cabinet-level ministry focused on the immigration of non-Israeli Jews to the State of Israel.
Purpose
In coordination with local authorities and the Jewish Agency, the Ministry is responsible for helping new immigrants (olim) find employment and accommodation, and gives advice on education, planning and social issues, as well as setting up the "immigrant basket" of benefits (such as tax breaks, grants etc.).
History
The ministry was known until 1951 as the Ministry of Immigration (Hebrew: משרד העלייה, Misrad HaAliya, "Ministry of Aliyah") and later renamed המשרד לקליטת העלייה, HaMisrad LeKlitat HaAliyah, "Ministry of Integration of Immigrants". Pnina Tamano-Shata, who was also the first Ethiopian Jew to serve as a minister in the Israeli government, was given the title of Minister of Immigrant Absorption when she was sworn in on 17 May 2020
In 2019 a Times of Israel investigation found that all of the success stories on the ministry's Twitter page were invented, except for one person who was not an immigrant. The ministry acknowledged the fabrication and removed them all.

Why this record matters
The phrase “israeli ministry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2671706. VIAF identifies the subject as 140254579. The Library of Congress control number is n2016000110. 3 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1951, 2020 and 2019.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
