Israel to begin Deporting ‘Infiltrators’ (ILLEGALS) Back to Africa ... Taking any notes Barry?

Israel is to deport Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers, even against their own will, to the third countries of Uganda and Rwanda, after the Israeli attorney general ruled in favour of the initiative today.
Yehuda Weinstein’s verdict came after the Israeli foreign ministry and Israeli prime minister’s special envoy on refugee issues Hagai Hadas, asserted that the African migrant’s lives would not be in danger in these countries.

The Interior Ministry announced on Tuesday that the African migrants, held at the controversial Holot detention centre in the Negev Desert, would be offered the chance to “willingly” leave Israel to one of the countries but would face a hearing and be transferred to prison if they did not leave Israel within 30 days.

"This move will encourage infiltrators to leave the borders of Israel in a safe and dignified manner, and will serve as an effective tool to fulfill our duty to the citizens of Israel - and south Tel Aviv in particular - to restore the fabric of life they were accustomed to," said interior minister Gilad Erdan.
Israel’s immigration authority, the Administration of Border Crossings, Population and Immigration (PIBA), has started sending letters to migrants informing them of their departure to a third country. While the Israeli government has not officially confirmed Rwanda and Uganda as the third countries in question, Israeli media outlets have already confirmed their identities.
A letter, published in Israeli daily Haaretz and translated by an Eritrean refugee, does not inform the migrants which country they will be residing in but lauds life in the unnamed country and offers a “good grant” - a $3,500 payment upon their departure from Israel.
