Kahlon said supportive of new law to jail, deport migrants
Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon reportedly favors advancing Knesset legislation that would bypass the High Court of Justice and let Israel resume jailing African migrants in holding centers and deporting them from the country.
“From my perspective, we can legislate the law tomorrow,” Kahlon is quoted by Hadashot news as saying.
The court has ruled against indefinite incarceration of the migrants and said Israel can only deport the Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers to a third-party country if it is determined to be safe.
