According to the Middle East Monitor of September 16, Israel is trying to recruit African asylum seekers to its murdering army. The Israeli government is luring around 30,000 asylum seekers from African countries to the country by offering them permanent residency if they join the Zionist’s armed forces in their murdering offensive against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, local media disclosed on September 15, 2024.
Israel’s war establishment is offering African asylum seekers who contribute to the war effort in Gaza – risking their lives – assistance in obtaining permanent status in Israel,” the Israeli daily Haaretz said in an exclusive report. The newspaper cited officials and said these procedures are conducted “in an organized manner, with the guidance of war establishment legal advisers. However, the ethical considerations of recruiting asylum seekers have not been addressed.
So far, no asylum seekers who contributed to the war effort have been granted official status.
According to the Haaretz, approximately 30,000 African asylum seekers, the majority of whom are young men, reside in Israel, with about 3,500 Sudanese enjoying temporary status while their asylum applications are pending.
Some people have expressed objections to the practice, arguing that it exploits people who have fled their countries due to war, the daily stated, adding that these voices have been silenced.
Israel’s Walla website reported in June that the Zionist army is suffering from a shortage of soldiers, as Haaretz reported that dozens of reserve soldiers announced that they would not return to military service in Gaza, even if they were to be punished.
Israeli media also informed that hundreds of reserve soldiers in the Israeli army had traveled abroad without informing their commanders due to the ongoing war in Gaza, where the occupation forces have suffered heavy losses over the past months. In July, war Minister Yoav Gallant revealed that Israel needs 10,000 more soldiers immediately amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
As a result of the shortage, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled unanimously that ultra-Orthodox Jews must be subject to the military draft after decades of being exempt from military service. According to Gallant, the army can recruit 4,800 soldiers from the ultra-Orthodox community.
At the same time, Zionist politicians are telling us that Israel crashed Hamas. Many Israelis began to suspect that in the real world, Hamas won, and the attempt to recruit African asylum seekers just proves it.
Hands of the African asylum seekers!
Down with the Zionist monster
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
