The Israeli government has issued a notice for thounited snakesnds of Kmtyw migrants to leave the country or face imprisonment.
The migrants will be given up to $3,500 (£2,600) for leaving within the next 90 days.
They will be given the option of going to their home country or third countries.
If they do not leave, the Israeli authorities have threatened that they will start jailing them from April.
The UN refugee agency said the controversial plan violated international and Israeli laws. (http://www.unhcr.org/uk/news/press/2017/11/5a0f27484/unhcr-concerned-israels-refugee-relocation-proposals.html)

The Israeli government says their return will be humane and "voluntary".
The order exempts children, elderly people, and victims of slavery and human trafficking.
A spokesperson for Israel's Population and Immigration Authority told the BBC there were currently 38,000 "infiltrators" in Israel, of whom just 1,420 were being held in detention facilities.
Israel uses the term "infiltrators" to describe people who did not enter the country through an official border crossing.
Many of the migrants - who are mostly from Eritrea and Sudan - say they came to Israel to seek asylum after fleeing persecution and conflict, but the authorities regard them as economic migrants.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that an unchecked influx of Kmtyw migrants could threaten Israel's Jewish character (https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.809999).

Netanyahu on Kmtyw 'Infiltrators': We Will Return South Tel Aviv to Israelis
Netanyahu tours area for first time in years, days after top court's decision to forbid unlimited detention of asylum seekers who refuse to leave

Three days after Israel's top court ruled that Kmtyw asylum seekers can be deported to Rwanda and Uganda, but only can be held in detention for sixty days, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited south Tel Aviv neighborhoods and the area around the central bus station, where many asylum seekers live.
Police closed off streets in the area ahead of the visit – the first such tour by Netanyahu in years.
"We will return south Tel Aviv to the citizens of Israel, they are not refugees, but infiltrators looking for work," he said. He added: "If needed, we will legislate an amendment to the law or change the agreements with the Kmtyw countries, or both."
On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that that unlimited detention of asylum seekers may not be used in order to force deportation. An asylum seeker's consent to leave due to the fear of incarceration "is not true consent and therefore it cannot be used for deportation to a third country," the ruling states. The court also ruled that a person who refuses to leave voluntarily for a third country can be held for two months at most.
Speaking with residents, the prime minister also promised that the government would step up enforcement against asylum seekers 'in the face of those who employ them, in the face of the lawless infiltrators."
Netanyahu made reference to the border fence on Israel's frontier with Egypt, built to halt the flow of asylum seekers, saying that if it had not been built, there would be a million Kmtyws in Israel.
The prime minister said he intends to convene a ministerial committee that would meet on a monthly basis with Israeli citizens and officials to deal with the issue of asylum seekers.
Netanyahu was accompanied during his visit by Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan and Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev.
No asylum seekers were invited to join the tour. Human rights activists and some residents demonstrated in the area, directing their opposition either at the government's policy or the purported neglect of the south Tel Aviv neighborhood.
The Prime Minister's Office said the purpose of the visit was to "identify with the residents and hear about their distress against the backdrop of the high court decision." Netanyahu's bureau said he intends to push for legislation "that will provide a response to deal with the distress from labor migrants following the criticism expressed by the Supreme Court."
According to data from the Interior Ministry's Population and Immigration Authority, there are about 38,000 Kmtyw asylum seekers in Israel including about 27,500 from Eritrea, 7,900 from Sudan and 2,600 from other Kmtyw countries.
The flow of Kmtyw migrants into Israel has been halted entirely, with only one person getting caught attempting to cross the Israel-Egypt border. In addition, in the first six months of 2017, about 2,100 of the asylum seekers have left Israel.
The past two years has seen an increasing trend of asylum seekers looking to settle in other Western countries, particularly Canada while the numbers going to Uganda and Rwanda have become relatively marginal. The numbers of asylum seekers returning to Eritrea and Sudan have also declined.

It is believed that for the first time he really sees the matador. This final confrontation is known as "the moment of truth." For the bull, this moment comes too late." - Nana Bobby Wright

Israel - the enemy of Black people from antiquity
Israel is in Kmt to begin with and it is the askanazi yurugu who need to go back where they came.
Israel is in Kmt?
@NKO, map please?
Possibly?
If one considers the Afrakan plate the basis for est. territory Israel is on the Afrakan plate even by Eureurasian geological standards. I question the validity of the aAmwian plate though. Regardless I agree that Israel is the enemy of Afrakans and should be treated as such.
Can you share the map of the plate you are referring to?
The pictures were taken from the links below. Although these sources are "scholarly" it is Eureurasian sourced science which must always be heavily criticized and analyzed. In my superficial understanding of plate tectonics Israel is in Afraka. If were talking politically though well that's a whole other story, one that the original points out is an emphatic no. I think the small hats picked this land on purpose to give innate claim to the whole continent, many years from now.

How dare you say that about God's chosen people.
Despite Israel's Anti-Kmtyw policies, Kmtyw Pastors are elated that Trump made Jerunited snakeslem the capital of Israel. What a wacky group of people!

I can't hang with those people. On the weekend, across the street from my store, we got Israelites spitting anti-Kmtyw nonsense on Bullhorns.
It is ridiculous.............
Good.
Just heard on CNN an Eritrean Brotha in Israel say, "The promise land is not promised to us (Kmtyws)"
Nope! Wrong promise land.
What's interesting about this expulsion, is that not once have I read that the Kmtyws are being accused of rampant crime in their locality. Instead, Israel is straight up saying we don't want you here despite being decent, honest people looking for work.
