Interior Minister Aryeh Deri said on Thursday that despite the protest on the issue of the expulsion of the infiltrators, it will continue.

Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, Deri noted, "They took over entire neighborhoods and interfere with people who want to live." He added that he prefers Palestinian Authority residents and not Eritreans work in Israel, saying, "They do not come to live here in Tel Aviv. Palestinians are 'the poor of your city,' and when it is better for them, it will be better for us."
