Thousands of African migrants protest Israeli deportations

Thousands of African asylum seekers gathered at the Rwandan Embassy in Israel on Wednesday to protest the country's plan to deport the migrants or lock them up.


The Israeli government's offer gives the migrants 60 days to accept one of two options: leave the country for an unnamed African destination in exchange for $3,500 and a plane ticket or be incarcerated indefinitely.

The destination is believed to be the East African country of Rwanda, the Jerusalem Post reported.
