Pressured by U.S., Israel Battles a Burgeoning 'White Slave' Trade

Think nothing will come of the urging by the USA. From the BBC Thursday, 18 May, 2000:

Israeli Sex Trade Under Fire
. . . Russian-based criminal gangs had used the influx of immigrants from the former Soviet Union into Israel as a cover to sneak in an estimated 10,000 prostitutes over the past decade.
It said that such gangs poured $4 billion a year into Israel, much of it in money-laundering schemes.
(Israeli Justice Minister)Mr Beilin called for action so that the traffic would "be stopped fast and will turn into a bad memory".
An adviser to Mr Beilin, Amir Abramovitch, said that the minister was planning to set up a high commissioner for human rights within a year to deal with such violations.
