Jews Called To Head For Tbilisi, As Hostilities Between Georgia And Russia Escalate

The Jewish Agency has advised some 200 Jews living in Gori near the south Ossetia border to leave immediately for the Georgian capital of Tbilisi as fighting intensified between Russia and Georgia on Saturday. The Jewish Agency is working in full co-ordination with the Foreign Ministry, which on Saturday advised Israelis to refrain from traveling to Georgia and urged those currently there to contact the Foreign Ministry. On Saturday members of the Georgian Olympic team announced they may leave the Beijing Games to return to their homeland. Two of the team members are from the region attacked by Russia. 08/10/08
