Addis Ababa, November 10, 2021 (FBC) – Israel has promised that if any of the Ethiopian immigrants airlifted to Israel in recent months during a conflict in the country are found to have committed war crimes, they will be sent back, Channel 13 reported on Tuesday.
The report comes a day after the channel reported that Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed angrily complained in a phone call with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that some of those airlifted to Israel were officers involved in war crimes.
Channel 13 cited a security source involved in the matter as saying at least four officers — among the over 2,000 people brought to Israel over the past year — are suspected of taking part in rebel massacres in the Tigray region.
