Israelʼs new tactic: Classifying Eritreans as Ethiopian to deport them

From Daniel:  "Israelʼs new tactic: Classifying Eritreans as Ethiopian to deport them
Only one petition against the Interior Ministryʼs classifications has been accepted by a judge, out of 19 submitted.The Interior Ministry is challenging asylum claims by Eritreans who, it says, are Ethiopian and thus eligible for deportation. A Central District Court judge has ruled in favor of the state in 18 out of 19 petitions against the ministryʼs classification."
