Turkish Jews in Israel

[2][1] For centuries, the Jewish population of Ottoman Palestine was divided between two groups: Jewish subjects of the Turkish Sultan, who formed their own legal entity, and foreign pilgrims who lived largely on alms.

[6] Immigration was stunted for several months in November 1948, when Turkey suspended migration permits as a result of pressure from neighboring Arab countries.

The migration was entirely voluntary, and was primary driven by economic factors given the majority of emigrants were from the lower classes.

[9]when most of them arrived to Israel As with many other Jews from the Middle east and North Africa they were put into Transit camps or Ma'abarot.

Generally, Turkish Jews in Israel have integrated well into society and are not distinguishable from other Israelis.
