Rescue Battle for ‘Lev Tahor’ Children: “There’s an Effort to Relocate Them to Other Countries”
Published By admin
The Israeli Knesset’s Immigration and Diaspora Affairs Committee held an urgent hearing today on the state’s efforts to rescue children from the radical Lev Tahor cult in Guatemala and integrate them into Israeli society. As of now, approximately 10 families – comprising about 20 children under 18 – have already made it to Israel.
All the minors who returned are currently living with one of their biological parents and are under state supervision. However, one family is reportedly refusing to cooperate with Israeli authorities, though they remain in contact with their local municipality.
Dr. Tamar Rozmarin-Ze’ev from the Prime Minister’s Office described a two-pronged approach: “We’re working both to return children still trapped abroad and to support families already here. A formal agreement was signed with the Jewish Agency and the Foreign Ministry to coordinate these efforts.”
The Welfare Ministry, responsible for reception and care, emphasized that rescued minors are legally classified as cult survivors, entitling them to a full range of state services.
