An investigation by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz has revealed that the Israeli army has been recruiting African asylum seekers and migrants to participate in military operations during the war in Gaza. In exchange for their involvement, these asylum seekers were promised permanent residency status. However, despite their participation in these life-threatening operations, many have not received the promised legal status. This practice, involving Israeli security officials, has raised significant ethical and legal concerns, with accusations of exploitation and modern-day slavery being levied against the Israeli military.
