Tel Aviv, Israel – Halefom Sultan, an Eritrean refugee in Israel living in the diverse central Tel Aviv neighbourhood of Neve Sha’anan, says he is afraid to venture out of his house at night out of fear of violent retribution from pro-regime Eritreans.
He fears that more, he says, than he fears the cries heard around Israel to deport Eritrean asylum seekers – derisively referred to as “infiltrators” in right-wing Israeli discourse.
