Africans in Israel paint their faces white to avoid deportation in protest

The government of Israel had proposed giving each migrant $3,500 to leave, with the option of going home or to a third country. If they don’t leave by end of March, migrants face indefinite incarceration. Immigration officials are also hiring civilian inspectors to help investigate and arrest the migrants.


However Israel’s plan which got worldwide criticism from human rights advocates both in and outside the country, calling on prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to deport the asylum seekers, saying the nation has “no refugee problem”, didn’t make the Jewish nation renege on the plan.
