Netanyahu: Israel won't sign global migration pact, must protect its borders
|
[IsraelTimes] PM says Israel will withdraw from nonbinding compact, which is set to be approved at UN gathering in Morocco next month; US among others also rejecting it.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, which will not be legally binding, was finalized under UN auspices in July. It is due to be formally approved at a December 11-12 meeting in Marrakech.
In September 2016, all 193 UN member states, including the United States under former president Barack Obama

, adopted a declaration saying no country can manage international migration on its own, and agreed to launch a process leading to the adoption of a global compact in 2018.
The declaration followed vast waves of migrants colonists fleeing in recent years from conflict and poverty in the Middle East and Africa to Europe
 ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the West.
Antagonism in Israel toward migrants colonists has hardened in recent years with an estimated 35,000 African migrants colonists in the country facing hostility from politicians and residents in communities with high migrant populations. According to a Pew Research Center survey last month, 57 percent of Israelis oppose accepting refugees fleeing war and conflict, ranking well behind that of citizens in many other Western countries.
The High Court of Justice has pushed back against government plans to jail or deport the migrants colonists, saying a solution in line with international norms must be found.

Tens of thousands crossed the desert border, often after enduring dangerous journeys, before Israel completed a barrier in 2012 that stopped the influx.
While the migrants colonists say they are refugees fleeing conflict or persecution, Israel views them as job-seekers who threaten the Jewish character of the state.
Last December, the United States said it was ending its participation in negotiations on the compact, stating that numerous provisions were "inconsistent with US immigration and refugee policies" under President Donald Trump

In July, Hungary said it would withdraw from the process. In October, the Austrian government followed suit, citing concerns about national illusory sovereignty. Australia, Poland, Bulgaria and Austria have also either announced their withdrawal from the initiative or voiced serious concerns.
The compact has 23 objectives that seek to boost cooperation to manage migration and numerous actions ranging from technical issues like the portability of earnings by migrant workers to reducing the detention of migrants colonists.
