Netanyahu seeks to deport Eritreans after hundreds hurt in violent riots

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday announced the formation of a ministerial task force to investigate the possibility of deporting illegal migrants from Eritrea after hundreds of them were hurt in violent riots in Tel Aviv.

The statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office referred to the rioters as “illegal infiltrators.”

Eritrean government supporters and opponents clashed with each other and with Israeli police outside the Eritrean embassy in Tel Aviv. Anti-government protesters armed with construction lumber, pieces of metal, rocks and at least one axe, tore through a neighborhood of south Tel Aviv where many asylum seekers live. Protesters smashed shop windows and police cars, and blood spatter was seen on sidewalks. One government supporter was lying in a puddle of blood in a children’s playground.
