Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a ministerial meeting on Sunday to discuss recent riots by Eritrean undocumented migrants in "Tel Aviv" and said that all of them will be subject to immediate deportation.

On Saturday, hundreds of Eritrean migrants protesting against their country's current government clashed with supporters of the Eritrean authorities near the location of an event in "Tel Aviv" organized by the Eritrean embassy in "Israel". More than 100 people were injured in the clashes, including several dozen occupation police officers.

"Yesterday's events are a crossing of the red line. This unrest and bloodshed is something we cannot accept. We demand tough measures against the rioters, including their immediate deportation," Netanyahu said at the meeting, as quoted in a press release issued by his office.

The occupation Prime Minister also instructed relevant Israeli agencies to develop a plan for gradually deporting all undocumented migrants from "Israel".

Netanyahu called illegal migration from Africa a real threat to what he called "Israel's" future.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also said in a statement that "the High Court of Justice is responsible for these riots. That’s why we’re advancing amendments to the legal system that will allow elected officials to make decisions and execute them."

On his part, Israeli occupation "Justice" Minister Yariv Levin claimed that the latest riots proved the need for the Netanyahu coalition’s judicial overhaul legislation.

There are about 17,000 Eritrean migrants in "Israel", constituting the majority of some 30,000 migrants from Africa, Israeli media reported.
