Soros denies funding protests against deporting African migrants
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBillionaire financier George Soros denies funding protests against the deportation of African migrants after being accused earlier today of doing so by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Contrary to Netanyahu’s false claims, I’m not financing the protest against the plan of the Israeli government to expel thousands of asylum seekers,” he says in a statement to Channel 10.
Soros adds that he “deeply believes that in accordance with the 1951 Refugee Convention and international law it isn’t right to forcibly send asylum seekers back to countries where they may be persecuted or killed.”
