"The Israeli Government yesterday adopted an emergency plan to turn back the tide of African migrant workers crossing into Israel, the one country with a Western economy Africans can reach on foot.
Warning that the number of illegal immigrants could reach 100,000 a year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the influx posed an economic, social and security threat to the country.
"Entire populations are starting to move and if we don't act to stop this we will be washed away," he said.
"It's no longer a choice but a necessity.""
