Journalist Shloime Zionce reportedly flew to Kabul to assist Simantov in his departure from Afghanistan.
Simantov previously claimed he would not leave Afghanistan, and “wasn’t interested” in leaving for the United States, according to journalist Zvika Klein.

“I will not leave my home. If I had left, there would have been no one to maintain the synagogue,” he said.
Simantov faced backlash after it surfaced that he has been refusing his wife a get, a Jewish divorce document, for many years.
Attempts have been made to assist his Israeli wife for years, though he is yet to agree to give her a divorce. Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, the chief rabbi of Moscow, wrote on Twitter that he had offered to fly to Afghanistan to administer the divorce but that Simantov refused.
