Israel to send African migrants to third country
June 04, 2013
Israel has reached an agreement to send thousands of African migrants to an unidentified country, according to a court document obtained, a plan that has elicited criticism over its potential harm to the migrants.
The plan, if implemented, is an attempt to address one of Israel's more pressing issues: what to do with an influx of roughly 60,000 African migrants who have sneaked into Israel from Egypt over the past eight years.
