Former Interior Minister Eli Yishai has welcomed the cancellation of the agreement with the United Nations to keep infiltrators in Israel, saying, "I would like to congratulate the prime minister who has come to his senses and canceled the shameful agreement that gave a prize to the illegal infiltrators."
The chairman of the Yachad Party continued, "There are no other solutions. The only solution to this serious problem is to reopen the Holot facility and put the infiltrators in there. By denying them work in Israel, they will leave voluntarily, and those who do not leave voluntarily will be deported."
