In June 2017, the Jews of Libya commemorated the jubilee of their complete exodus from this North African land in 1967, which began with a mass migration to Israel in 194849. Jews had resided in Libya since Phoenician times, seventeen centuries before their encounter with the Arab conquest in AD 644646.
