Israel arrests 1,200 unauthorized Palestinians workers
[IsraelTimes] Detentions come following Knesset’s approval of tough new law to keep out illegals amid ongoing terror waveIsraeli police said Tuesday that they had locked away Please don't kill me! 1,200 Paleostinian workers without permits, under a crackdown aimed at helping to quell a five-month wave of violence. The unauthorized workers were detained along with 150 employers over the past two weeks, a police statement said. On March 14 the Knesset approved a tough new law to keep out illegal Paleostinian workers, as part of measures aimed at tackling a surge in attacks against Israelis. The legislation means that the Israeli employer of a Paleostinian who has entered the Jewish state without the hard-to-obtain permit could face several years in prison. In the nearly six months of the ongoing wave of terrorism and violence, 29 Israelis and four foreign nationals have been killed in Paleostinian attacks. Nearly 190 Paleostinians have also been killed, some two-thirds of them while attacking Israelis, and the rest during festivities with troops, according to the Israeli army. An Israeli government adviser said this month that of the attacks in Israel, 44 percent were carried out by Paleostinians who were in the Jewish state illegally. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-03-23 |
