On Monday,Prime Minister Netanyahu met visiting Ivory Coast President<br />Alassane Ouattara, where Ouattara expressed his agreement that Israel<br />should repatriate Ivory Coast nationals who arrived in Israel without<br />permission. Of the 65,000 African migrants believed to be in the<br />country, the numbers from the Ivory Coast range from a few hundred to<br />some 2,000. While up until the middle of last year it was impossible<br />to deport Ivorians because the country was in the throes of civil<br />violence, the situation has changed since Ouattara came to power in<br />April.
