Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

It is time to increase the pace of deporting African migrants, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet on Sunday.

According to The Jerusalem Post, Netanyahu said his policy regarding getting migrants to leave the country has three prongs, with the current focus on encouraging most of them to self-deport to a third country – which reports have identified as Rwanda.

Netanyahu said that the state had already carried out the first two prongs of its strategy: stopping the flow of new migrants by building a wall on the Egyptian border and forcing out over 20,000 migrants who had been inside Israel.
