Israel reaches deal with U.N. to resettle asylum seekers in Western states

16,250 African migrants will be expelled to Western countries while the same number are to be granted temporary residency and dispersed across the country.

Israel announced on Monday that it has canceled a contested plan to forcibly deport migrants to Africa after reaching an agreement with the United Nation High Commission on Refugees to allow around half of them to resettle in Western countries and the other half to remain in Israel.

The deal reached between the Prime Minister’s Office and the UNHCR stipulates that Israel can deport some 16,000 migrants, while granting a “suitable” legal status to thousands of others. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said around 16,000 would remain in Israel, saying: “For every one that goes, one will remain.”

However, the UNHCR statement includes an additional 7,000 people, mentioning implementing solutions for a total of some 39,000 people over five years.

Refugee’s can return to their place of origin, now that the cause for their flight has passed.

If the un cares send them all to the un!

Since when does any sovereign nation let foreigners write their laws, past 8 years of Hussein rule notwithstanding?

Pretty sad situation in Eritrea. The dictator there has mandatory compulsory military service for all men from 17 to 50 years of age. Since the country is no longer at war with Ethiopia, service is now cheap slave labor. Many soldiers cannot see their family. Deserters are imprisoned, tortured and killed. Eritrea is called the NK of Africa for arbitrary imprisonment, network of informers and no hope.

The “Western States” in the article does not means “States in the USA west of the Mississippi River”.

It means “various Western Countries”, chiefly Europe.

I don’t understand how one country can be forced to take in another country’s citizens.

There are certainly plenty of countries that don’t take them — Japan, for example.
