Gov't approves plan to close Holot detention facility

The government approved on Sunday a proposal by Ministers Aryeh Deri and Gilad Erdan to close the Holot detention facility in the Negev, which houses African illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.

 

The facility is due to close within a few months, and the illegal immigrants and asylum seekers will either be imprisoned in the Saharonim Prison or expelled to Rwanda.

 

Israel has signed an agreement with Rwanda allowing it to expel asylum seekers to the African country even without their consent.
