Inspired by Anne Frank story, Israelis volunteer to help African asylum seekers

Hundreds of Israelis are volunteering to be part of an Anne Frank-inspired scheme to harbour African asylum seekers facing deportation. The Israeli ambassador to Australia has defended the policy to send 38,000 mostly Eritrean and Sudanese people to Rwanda, describing them as mostly young men looking for jobs, rather than genuine refugees
