Here is an update on what is currently going on in Israel and Netanyahu’s deportation plan of African migrants.
60,000 Africans, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, entered Israel illegally before they put up a fence along its border with Egypt in 2013.
Netanyahu has emphasized that the migrants who entered Israel illegally are 70-80% of working age, and 5x more men than woman which data shows is consistent with economic migrants. A plan launched back in January, which offered migrants a $3,500 payment from the Israeli government and a free air ticket to return home.
In February, Israel started handing out notices to 20,000 male African migrants giving them two months to leave the country or risk being thrown in jail.
“We have expelled about 20,000 and now the mission is to get the rest out,”
Netanyahu announced last week that he had reached a deal with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to allow over 16,000 African refugees to resettle in Western countries. The UNHCR statement includes an additional 7,000 and mentions solutions for 39,000 African migrants over the next five years.
Initially, Netanyahu named Canada, Italy and Germany as countries in which the migrants could be resettled as part of the agreement. However, Italy and Germany reportedly denied any such agreement. Leaving Canada still on the table. Hours after he announced the plan, the Israeli leader put the deal with the UNHCR on hold because of a political backlash.
Here’s where things get interesting:
According to Israel’s ambassador to Canada Nimrod Barkhan, Two months ago Canada quietly approached Israel on its own to take in the refugees and the arrangement with Israel is completely separate from the agreement that was reached on Monday with the UNHCR.
This should be a daily reminder that Canadian citizens were never asked if they even wanted this, and personally I have a problem with this. With tens of thousands of migrants entering Canada illegally from the US with no plan to pay for long term integration, and a virtue signalling Prime Minister who says the government can’t afford to pay for it’s veterans, there has got to be another agenda at play here.
