Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni also told the cabinet on Sunday that her Ministry was working to grant Samuel a residency permit so she could live in Israel.
Livni's statement followed a request from Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Aharonov, the chairman of Jewish sect Chabad Lubavitch, to clear the way for Samuel's immigration.
An Interior Ministry spokeswoman told 'The Jerusalem Post' that no formal request had been made yet for her to receive either permanent or temporary residency in Israel.
However, Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit was willing to find a solution that would help her to stay here, at least for the short-term, she said.
