Sudanese Refugees Step Closer To Asylum In Israel

Israel‘s parliamentary Committee on Foreign Workers is recommending granting asylum to 280 refugees from Sudan who are already in the country. Most of them are being held in custody while four ministries debate what to do with them. The governmental quandary is because Sudan is considered to be an enemy nation even though Israel signed an international treaty that requires it to accept and grant legal status to refugees.
