VOICED: The changing face of Israel

The video discusses the situation of migrant workers' children in Israel, focusing on those born to African and Asian workers. Many of these families face expulsion due to lack of permits, despite the children being born and raised in Israel. The government has taken a hardline stance, creating a police unit to find illegal workers, a move supported by religious political parties. The issue is contentious, as these children identify as Israelis, speaking Hebrew and knowing no other country. Plans to expel 1,200 families have been delayed, with rights groups hoping to prevent the expulsions altogether.
