TV: Netanyahu seeking fresh Knesset bill to deport migrants
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu is planning to advance legislation bypassing the High Court of Justice’s rulings to allow Israel to continue jailing African migrants and deport them from the country, Hadashot news reports.
The TV report says Netanyahu was applying pressure on his coalition partners, namely Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon, to support the plan. Kahlon has in the past opposed any Knesset bills that clash with court rulings.
The prime minister told his ministers he scrapped the UN refugee agency plan in response to their objections and therefore expected them to support his new legislative bid, the report says.
