Israel’s Supreme Court on Thursday suspended a controversial government
plan to deport thousands of Eritrean and Sudanese migrants in response to a
challenge from those opposed to the move.
The court said in its decision the state was given until March 26 to
provide further information and the suspension on deporting them to a third
country would remain in place until then.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in January announced implementation of
the programme to remove migrants who entered illegally, giving them a choice
between leaving voluntarily or facing indefinite imprisonment with eventual
forced expulsion.
