'Lost tribe' settles in Israel

Quote:Dozens of members of an Indian tribe said to be lost descendants of ancient Israelites have emigrated to Israel after the government lifted a visa ban. Some 1,700 of the 7,200-strong Bnei Menashe already arrived nearly a decade ago after a chief rabbi recognised the community as a lost tribe in 2005. Israel stopped issuing visas to the group two years later but recently reversed the policy.
