Ex-Iraqi Jews want compensation
|
Iraqi Jewish leaders from around the world will demand compensation from the Iraqi government for lost assets.
Meetings have been scheduled for Sept. 18-19 in London to discuss the issue of compensation for Jews who fled Arab countries during and after the creation of the State of Israel and were forced to leave behind their assets, the Jerusalem Post reported.
While the ex-Iraqi Jews don’t believe the current Iraqi government will compensate them, they hope the demand at least can serve as a bargaining chip in future peace talks over compensation for Palestinian refugees who fled during Israel’s 1948 War of Independence.
