New testimonies from migrants show Israel has potentially found a
solution for path out of Israel for higher numbers of migrants.

Israel is financing flights and assisting illegal migrants with travel
plans to both Rwanda and Uganda, Haaretz reported on Friday.
The unconfirmed report comes days after the state told a maximum-sized
nine-justice High Court of Justice panel that two countries had agreed
to take some of Israel's migrants, but left the countries' anonymous,
at a dramatic hearing over whether to declare the state's policy on
the issue unconstitutional.

Migrants reportedly told Haaretz that Israel paid for their trips and
gave them an initial financial package one-time payment of $3,500, but
did not assist beyond that point.
V., an Eritrean who was living in Israel until he received payment to
leave and was sent to Rwanda, spoke to Hamoked for refugeees and
migrants, who he told that once he landed in Rwanda, he was only given
a 10-day tourist visa. That didn't matter to him, however, because he
wasn't optimistic of finding work within the country anyway.
The report, based mainly off of testimonies from asylum seekers, sheds
light into the the state's latest push to deal with high numbers of
illegal infiltrators into Israel. Although no official statistics on
how many migrants have left Israel for Rwanda and Uganda are given,
the report leaves room to believe that the state has found a solution
that could potentially be a path for a very large number of migrants
to leave.
Previously, there had been on-and-off reports for months that the
state where migrants were being sent was Uganda, but the numbers of
migrants leaving Israel in general and being discussed were much
smaller.
The state's policy, including placing new illegal migrants in closed
detention for up to one year, but also allows placing up to 4,000 (so
far) already in Israel in open detention for an indefinite period, was
initiated in mid-December 2013 under pressure from a mid-September
2013 High Court ruling striking down the old policy as
unconstitutional.
Since the new policy's initiation, 3,988 migrants have left the
country, including 1,510 in March alone.
The old policy included placing around 2,000 migrants in closed
detention for three years before the state had to address their
refugee status.
