Israel expects the number of French Jews emigrating to the country in 2015 to reach up to 15,000, following the killings at a Paris kosher grocery last Friday. The number of French-Jewish immigrants was already predicted to rise sharply from last year's record number of 7,000, after more than doubling since 2013. Natan Sharansky, head of the Jewish Agency promoting emigration to Israel, said his original estimate for 2015 was 10,000 French immigrants, but is now expecting it to be much higher.
