'''Operation Moses''' was a secret operation in 1984 to bring the [[Ethiopia|Ethiopian]] [[Jews]] of [[Sudan]] to [[Israel]] during a famine.

It started on November 18, 1984, and ended six weeks later on January 5, 1985. A total of 8,000 Jews were transported by air to Israel. When news of the operation broke, [[Arab]] governments pressured the Sudanese government into not allowing the Jews to use Sudan as a way to get to Israel. Around 1,000 Jews were left behind in Sudan, until the [[US]] backed [[Operation Joshua]].
