The Israeli government has decided not to evict African migrants forcefully any longer to other African countries after making such threats months ago.
The middle east country told the Supreme Court that it will not go by its earlier plan to forcibly deport thousands of migrants many of whom are from Eritrea and Sudan.
This month officials in Uganda announced that they are considering a request from Israel to take in some 500 African migrants mostly from Eritrea and Sudan as the middle east country insists on evicting these migrants.
African Migrants seeking refuge in Israel for some time now have been facing eviction after a deal with the United Nations for their resettlement was canceled.
The earlier deal with the United Nations refugee agency was reached for the resettlement of these migrants seeking asylum.
But Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu canceled the deal saying it took the decision after consulting residents of south Tel Aviv, where many of the migrants live.
In January this year Benjamin Netanyahu said the intended deportation plan would affect about 38,000 migrants who entered the country illegally.
Each migrant was to be given up to $3,500 to leave to their home countries. All migrants who refused were be jailed from April.
Many of the immigrants from Eastern Africa mostly Eritrea and Sudan have said they fled their countries into the Middle East country seeking refuge.
