Egypt has played a significant role in Jewish history, with a continuous Jewish presence dating back to biblical times.<\/p>\n
Today, only a handful of elderly Jews remain, marking the near-total extinction of a centuries-long Jewish presence in Egypt.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Justice for Jews from Arab Countries\u2019 mission is to ensure that justice for Jewish refugees from Arab countries assumes its rightful place on the international political agenda and that their rights and redress be secured as a matter of law and equity.<\/p>\n
To that end, eleven comprehensive country Reports have been prepared to document the history and heritage, as well as the individual and communal losses suffered by Jews and Jewish communities displaced from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Aden, and Iran. This Report on the Jews of Egypt is the third in the series, following the release of the Reports on the Jews of Syria, which can be HERE<\/a>, and the Jews of Iraq, which can be accessed
