Braverman: Yishai needs to make humane decision on foreign kids

Minister for Minority Affairs Avishay Braverman said on Sunday that the government's decision to allow the 1,200 children of foreign workers to complete the school year in Israel is a step to their permanent stay in the country.

The minister said he was disappointed with the government's failure to decide on the children's status and settle with the creation of a committee headed by Interior Minister Eli Yishai. "The interior minister realizes he needs to distinguish between the kids and the other illegal workers and make a humane decision." (Yael Branovsky)
