A new initiative, to encourage Latin American Jews to advocate for Israel will be launched by Isaac Assa, a Mexican-Syrian Jewish businessman. The organization will be called the Israel+Latin American Network (ILAN).
"In the coming years, one in three Americans will be of Latin American descent. If we do not mobilize them for Israel, we will lose America," the organization announced in the Save the Date for its launch, which will take place on May 31st in Herzliya.
