Israel offers africsn nationals $3,500 each to leave the country
Israel is offering eligible African nationals $3,500 each to voluntarily leave the country, following an expansion of its departure programme to citizens of all African countries.
According to reports, the programme targets certain African nationals living in Israel without legal immigration status.
Those who qualify and agree to return to their home countries will receive $3,500, alongside a free flight and assistance with travel documents.
The expansion comes after the number of people leaving Israel through the programme dropped by about 20% in 2025.
The new arrangement is expected to run until December 31, 2026
