"ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday he aims to repatriate
tens of thousands of illegal African migrants and that the inflow into Israel
from the Sinai peninsula has been brought to a halt.“Our aim is to repatriate
tens of thousands of infiltrators now in Israel to their countries of origin,”
he said, adding Israel had been in contact with several African governments.
Rising tensions over the growing number of illegal immigrants exploded into
violence in May when a protest in south Tel Aviv turned ugly, with demonstrators
smashing African-run shops and property, chanting “Blacks out!”" (thanks Basim)
