Some 38,000 African migrants live in Israel. New Israeli plan offers them $3,500 to leave.


Israel said on Wednesday it would pay thousands of African migrants living illegally in the country to leave, threatening them with jail if they are caught after the end of March.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in public remarks at a cabinet meeting on the payment programme, said a barrier Israel completed in 2013 along its border with Egypt had effectively cut off a stream of "illegal infiltrators" from Africa after some 60,000 crossed the desert frontier.

  1. Will, they can do what they do here and in South Africa and
    probably Australia too, burn everything up. In South Africa
    they burn the trains when they don't like something and I
    mean lots of trains.
