Gulf Rabbi Emeritus: If Syrian Lifestyle More Like UAE, Syrian Jews Could Return to Home Country
Stressing a “wait and see” approach, Rabbi Elie Abadie weighs in on the political situation in Gaza and Syria, while urging regime change in Iran

A Syria that looks and functions more like the UAE would make a return of Syrian Jews conceivable, Rabbi Dr. Elie Abadie told The Media Line. But is this likely? “Not really, I don’t think so.”
In a wide-ranging interview, Rabbi Elie Abadie, who was born in Lebanon and is the senior rabbi emeritus of the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf states, reflects on the current state of affairs with The Media Line’s Felice Friedson. He warns that recent moves on Iran amount to a reprieve rather than a lasting solution and says that hopes for a new Syrian Republic to which Syrian Jews could perhaps return one day, and a post-Hamas Gaza, remain, at best, “wait and see” bets.
