Israel is recruiting African refugees for “life-threatening” operations in Gaza in exchange for settled status in the country, sources have revealed. There are approximately 30,000 African asylum seekers in Israel. They have faced growing pressure from anti-immigrant politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who regularly refers to them as “infiltrators”.
One man interviewed by Haaretz, who ultimately chose not to enlist, recounted being approached by a security official to join the war effort. The official explained that after a two-week training period, he would be deployed alongside other asylum seekers.
Haaretz noted that the “manner in which the Israeli army deploys the asylum seekers is barred from publication” due to restrictions imposed by the Israeli military censor.
Like Russia does? Aggressive dictatorships seem alike each other.
Israel and Russia remain close geopolitical allies.
Exactly my thought.
Russia dupes people into becoming mercenaries. Israel dupes people after they become mercenaries. It’s called worlds most moral army for a reason.
