Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJustice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Education Minister Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home party will propose legislation next week to circumvent a High Court of Justice ruling that nixed the controversial plan to expel nearly 40,000 African asylum seekers.
Bennet tells coalition leaders the legislation will seek to amend Israel’s Basic Law so that the African migrants can be deported under the Prevention of Infiltration Law, without violating a number of High Court rulings that have struck down the plan as unconstitutional.
