Ron Dermer, who serves as Israel's Ambassador to the US, reportedly warned Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel's plan to deport African migrants is hurting Israel's image around the world. Channel 10 quoted a Dermer confidant who said that "Dermer does not object to the deportation itself, but he sees the criticism in the US, especially in the media, and Dermer warned against the potential protests of major organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League".
