The original deportation plan had come under severe criticism.
For every migrant deported from Israel, one will be allowed to stay, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, detailing a new plan for the deportation of migrants at a press conference at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem. Israel announced earlier Monday that it had cancelled a contested plan to deport migrants to third-party countries in Africa, believed to be Rwanda and Uganda, having reached an agreement with the United Nation’s Refugee Agency to allow them to be resettled in Western countries, while others will be permitted to remain in Israel.
