I am sharing this Israeli Press release for information – not because I support this position regarding refugees or what the Netanyahu government calls “infiltrators”.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the special ministerial team to evaluate ways to handle infiltrators who violate the law, in the wake of yesterday’s disturbances and violent events in Tel Aviv.
Prime Minister Netanyahu at the start of the discussion:
“The massive illegal infiltration into Israel from Africa constituted a tangible threat to the future of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. We blocked this threat by building a fence, which entailed overcoming the opposition of the security establishment and political rivals. When we blocked it, we completely stopped the infiltration, and I am proud that my governments that did this.
There remains the problem of those who entered before the fence was completed, some tens of thousands of illegal infiltrators who entered the country. We voluntarily repatriated 12,000 of them with various incentives and measures. We wanted more. We proposed a series of steps, including the deposit, but unfortunately all of them were rejected by the High Court of Justice.
There is one thing that we did not propose and it is good that we did not – the UN outline. The UN outline would have given citizenship to 16,000 illegal infiltrators and would have created a major incentive for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Africans who would have again stormed the State of Israel. Therefore, it is a bad solution. Whoever proposes this, proposes something that would move the problem backward.
Now there remains the serious problem of the illegal infiltrators in southern Tel Aviv and other places, but what happened yesterday crossed a red line. This disturbance, the bloodshed, these are things that we cannot tolerate.
Therefore, the first thing that I am doing is to wish a full recovery to the police officers who were injured in the effort to restore order. We are seeking strong steps against the rioters, including the immediate expulsion of those who took part. It is hard for me to understand why we would have a problem with those who declare that they support the regime; they certainly cannot claim refugee status.
I would also like this forum to prepare a complete and updated plan to repatriate all of the remaining illegal infiltrators from the State of Israel; this is the purpose of our meeting today.”
Also participating in the meeting were the Justice Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Finance Minister, the National Security Minister, the Interior Minister, the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, the Director of the National Security Council, the Israel Police Inspector General, the Director General of the Prime Minister’s Office, the Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Head of the National Public Diplomacy Directorate, the State Attorney, the Deputy Attorney General and the Director General of the Population and Immigration Authority.

Breaking News: Israeli police fired stun grenades in an attempt to disperse the crowd, while some protesters hurled stones (Shabiya’s savagery and primitiveness were exposed in action and remain intact regardless of its residence in a western country after being saved from whales) at police and set fire to trash bins.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to convene a special ministerial team to examine measures to be taken against illegal infiltrators who took part in the disturbances, including steps toward deportation,” the statement read.
The ministerial team will convene tomorrow, on September 4, 2023, at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, the statement added. Shabiya supporters will be sent back to help the octogenarian dictator, who is suffering from NDP in his palace.
Shabiya supporters cannot stay in Tel Aviv while supporting a deadly regime in Eritrea. The Eritrean regime is causing bloody chaos in Ethiopia too, with countless displacements and killings of Amharas, Oromos, Gumuz, Tigrayans, etc.
“”Although Eritreans supporting the regime would not appear to be in need of international protection as refugees, the authorities in Israel have not made distinctions between asylum seekers based on their political affiliations until now. ” BBC
correction : NPD in his palace.
The pro goveroment refugees must be deported, but those who are oppressed the dictatorship in Eritrea should give protection or transfer to other save European countries who have respect to real asylum seekers
So this is what Netanjahu calls refugees: “infiltrators”. I am German and I have always refrained from criticising Israel. In every discussion I have always tried to see things from Israel ‘s perspective.
But what I would like to say to Netanjahu and his supporters now is this: if you send people back to where oppression, war, torture and death awaits them, if you have learned nothing from the past, in short if you don’t remember the Holocaust, why should we?
Dear Birgit Kellermann
But these people wearing marron shirt support the regime and they will certainly be welcomed andenjoy their stay there.
The prime minister has failed to his security apparatus despite the warnings that was given or he thought Israel would be immune from the movement that went all over the world. Expelling refugees is what he can do and that’s not right because our father Jacob wasn’t expelled from Egypt during his hardships as a refugee.
