The Israeli government has announced that they plan to forcibly deport asylum seekers from Israel to an unknown third country. We can't let this happen. All of our research shows that asylum seekers deported from Israel did not find safety in the third countries, and they began their dangerous search for asylum all over again after having lived in Israel for the last 6-12 years.
We must prevent forced deportation. Will you help us? Your donation to the Hotline for Refugees and Migrants will go directly to:
- Providing paralegal aid to individuals facing deportation, including those held in immigration detention.
- Submitting legal cases to court to protect the most vulnerable groups of asylum seekers from deportation such as victims of the Sinai torture camps
- Continuing our advocacy and public campaigning against the deportation, including providing information and interviews to the Israeli and international media.
We need your help. The harder that the government works to violate the basic human rights of vulnerable people, the harder we will work to protect them. Join us in our work to prevent the deportation so we can prove to the world and to ourselves that Israel is capable of standing by its Jewish and humanitarian values, its legal obligations and its binding commitment to the UN Refugee Convention.
