Netanyahu visits south Tel Aviv after court’s ruling on migrants
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits south Tel Aviv, meeting with Israeli residents to discuss the influx of African migrants to the area in recent years.
The prime minister’s visit comes on the heels of a Supreme Court decision allowing Israel to continue with its controversial practice of deporting illegal migrants to an unnamed third country. The court also said the government cannot jail those who refuse to go for more than 60 days.
Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have indicated they will submit new Knesset legislation to expand the government’s deportation powers.
