The UN refugee agency expressed "disappointment" Tuesday over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to withdraw from an agreement to resettle African migrants.

  

In a statement, the UNHCR said it was disappointed and urged Netanyahu to reconsider.

 

The UNHCR "continues to believe that a win-win agreement that would both benefit Israel and people needing asylum is in everyone's best interests."
