    Report: PM to Support Deporting Illegals

    Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is expected to support the deportation of thousands of illegal Africans who snuck into Israel, a report said Sunday. The National Security Council, directed by IDF Reserve General Ya'akov Amidror will file a report on the illegal alien phenomenon in the coming days, that will say that Israel will not be able to assimilate most of the illegal Africans.

    Interior Ministry officials were quoted on Sunday as saying that as soon as the government adopts the report, they were ready with a plan to arrest, house, and repatriate the aliens to their home countries. A Foreign Ministry report said that there was no problem with deporting the aliens, who were no longer classified as political refugees due to recent changes in the political situation in Africa.
