African migrants are worse than terrorists, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the
flood of illegal migrants from Africa are worse than terrorists in the
Sinai peninsula.
Netanyahu said this while speaking at an event celebrating the Negev
region held in Dimona. The PM said that Israel has recently completed a
fence along "more than 200 kilometers of the border with Sinai." He said
the border fence constructed along Israel’s border with Egypt is
holding back a potential "flood" of illegal migrants from Africa.
Without the fence, "we would be faced with … severe attacks by Sinai
terrorists, and something much worse, a flood of illegal migrants from
Africa," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu's comments come on the heels of Israel's campaign to deport
thousands of African migrants in the country. The interior ministry
says there are currently some 42,000 African migrants in Israel, mainly
from Sudan and Eritrea, and the government has ordered that thousands of
them must leave or face indefinite imprisonment.
