TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a plan to remove all African migrants from the country following a violent clash between Eritrean migrants in Tel Aviv.
The clash occurred on Saturday, when rival groups of Eritreans faced off with construction lumber, pieces of metal and rocks, smashing shop windows and police cars. Israeli police in riot gear responded with tear gas, stun grenades and live rounds while officers on horseback tried to control the protesters. Dozens of people were injured.
In response to the incident, Netanyahu said Sunday that he wants those involved to be deported immediately. He also ordered a plan to remove all African migrants from Israel.
The Prime Minister’s remarks have sparked debate in Israel, with some arguing that the migrants should be allowed to stay and others saying that they should be deported. Supporters of the migrants say that they should be given a chance to stay in the country, while opponents argue that they are a threat to public safety.
The issue of African migrants in Israel has been a source of contention for years. The country has been struggling to find a solution to the influx of migrants, many of whom have fled war and poverty in their home countries. The government has previously attempted to deport the migrants, but has been met with legal challenges. It remains to be seen how the Prime Minister’s plan will be implemented.
