Israel is close to signing a deal with several African countries who will accept tens of thousands of African migrants currently residing in Israel in exchange for a benefits package including security, economic and agricultural aid.
According to a senior official, the security aid will include Israeli arms and military knowledge and training.
Such deals are close to being finalized with at least three African countries, the official said. Israel’s chief negotiator in the talks was Hagai Hadas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s special advisor.
Another Israeli official added that Israel continues to explore the possibility of returning North Sudanese and Eritrean migrants to their home countries.
Brilliant. A nice display of diplomacy. Unfortunately, it is no example for other countries like the US or Europe.
does anyone know which 3 countries? will it be accepting their own nationals or other african nationals?
