“In recent years, we have been witnessing such a phenomenon as“ refugee tourism ”. Thousands of people from different countries come to Israel and immediately upon arrival ask for asylum in order to obtain a legal right to work ... while their request is being considered, ”RIA Novosti quoted the agency as saying.
