GAZA, (PIC)

Hamas said that what has been revealed by Israeli media about the Israeli
army recruiting “African asylum seekers” to fight in its ranks as
mercenaries, “confirms the depth of the moral crisis in Israel.”

Haaretz newspaper revealed on Sunday that the Israeli army is blackmailing
African asylum seekers by offering “the incentive of permanent residency
status to asylum seekers who agree to participate in sometimes
life-threatening military operations in Gaza.”

It added that the project is being implemented in an organized manner,
under the guidance of the army’s legal advisors.

Hamas added in a press release that this recruitment confirms the Israeli
violation of the most basic rules of human rights, by exploiting the need
of immigrants and asylum seekers, “to throw them into battles, in an
attempt to compensate for the great loss in the ranks of its army in its
genocide war on the Gaza Strip.”

Hamas called on the international community and human rights institutions
to condemn this crime, which reflects the “behavior of racist gangs”, and
to take the necessary measures to hold the Israeli officials accountable
for such violations of international and humanitarian laws.

According to Haaretz newspaper, there are currently about 30,000 African
asylum seekers living in Israel, most of them are young people.

The Israeli newspaper quoted unnamed security sources as saying that the
Israeli army used asylum seekers in dangerous missions in several military
operations, some of which were published on the media.
