Most of these people claim to be asylum seekers, but in reality are closer to economic immigrants. Similar to immigrants along the Southern US border or Middle Eastern immigrants crossing the Turkish border into Greece.
To be a refugee, you must stop at the closest safe country and apply for asylum. From Eritrea, safe countries can include South to Djibouti, and North to Egypt. Continuing on into Israel and Tel Aviv not only violates this rule but also brings you to a less safe area. Eritreans in Israel are not legal refugees, but more likely anti-israeli / pro-paledtinian fighters.

Eritrea is a cesspit filled with human rights abuses.
Do you have any source to support your claim that people leaving are ‘economic immigrants’? Whatever that means.
To give context of just how bad Eritrea is, it often ranks as worse than North Korea when it comes to human rights abuse
This is the valuable one liner that I was looking for. Thanks!
