The Eritrean embassy in Israel has deposited a financial guarantee in the custody court to bring about the release of a pro-regime infiltrator, who allegedly participated in a violent mass brawl and is now asking the state to return the money.

In June 2018, Tastei Waldenshi was transferred to administrative custody after being arrested by police for participating in a mass brawl between supporters and opponents of the regime in Eritrea.

According to the police report, dozens of infiltrators took part in the brawl and it ended with a number of injured infiltrators being evacuated to the hospital, injuring a police officer and damage to property. Eight infiltrators were also arrested, five of them with a criminal record of violent offenses.

Although in such cases "administrative custody" is usually exercised under the Entry into Israel Law which stipulates that a resident may not be unlawfully released who poses a danger to public safety, the Custody Court released Waldenshi after only about a month, in part because of Supreme Court rulings limiting the possibility Hold infiltrators involved in crime in administrative custody if it is not possible to deport them to their country.

When Waldenshi was asked by the dayan if he would be willing to leave voluntarily he replied that he was not willing to return to Eritrea, so in the absence of a deportation channel he was released on conditions that included a NIS 3,000 bail as a condition of his release.

Waldenshi recently applied to the court for the state to reimburse him for the amount he had held on bail.

Court Judge Liron Crispin Boker denied his request, ruling that he remained an infiltrator staying illegally in Israel and that the bail was intended to ensure his stabilization and departure from Israel.

"The amount deposited is a condition that continues to fulfill its purpose, as the applicant still remains an illegal resident in Israel whose status has not yet been settled, and as such still needs some guarantee to ensure his future stabilization in the Population and Immigration Authority offices and his location - as far as possible at some point." .

However, the ruling reveals another surprising detail: the person who deposited the amount of the bail for Waldensi was none other than the Eritrean embassy in Israel, the government representative from which he is allegedly in danger if he is forcibly deported to his country.

This is how the guarantee is described in the ruling in the decision: "to return to him the guarantee money deposited (by the Eritrean embassy in Israel) as part of the conditions of release."

The fact that the Eritrean embassy in Israel has deposited funds for the release on bail of an infiltrator suspected of violence raises difficult questions regarding the treatment of the infiltrators and the danger posed to them in Eritrea, and in any case regarding the possibility of returning them to their country.

Advocate Yonatan Jakubowicz, director of the Center for Israeli Immigration Policy, said in response: "The story illustrates how unfounded the current policy regarding infiltrators from Eritrea is.

The Israeli government allows infiltrators to wage a civil war here on the streets of Tel Aviv, with the active and full financial backing of the embassy.

If that is not enough, the Custody Court repeatedly releases violent infiltrators involved in crime, in clear violation of the Entry into Israel Law, even when it is clear to all that they are not in any danger in their country.

In this case it is already a real parody, with the Eritrean embassy placing a bond on the pretext that it cannot be returned to his country.

It is time for the government to wake up from its winter slumber and start addressing this strategic issue. "
