Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accuses the New Israel Fund of funding protests against the deportation of African migrants from the country.

“This won’t help you. Today we began an operation to remove illegal infiltrators from Israel, just as other modern countries do, chiefly the United States,” Netanyahu writes in a Facebook post.

“Just as we blocked the infiltration to Israel with the fence I put up on the border with Sinai, I will keep my promise to remove infiltrators to our country,” he adds.

Netanyahu links to an article from the right-wing Mida news site, which quotes a New Israel Fund letter saying it would provide a special donation for the campaign against expelling the asylum seekers from the country.
