Title: Deported and Dispossessed?: Human Trafficking and the State of Israel: Between Economic Struggle and Systemic Dispossession

Summary: This policy paper examines how, and to what extent the State of Israel is involved in human trafficking in general, and in particular the darker side of the so-called economic struggle against trafficking, in the framework of which the funds generated at the expense of the victims are seized by the State. In Chapter I, it discusses the economic motivation of all the elements involved in human trafficking: the victims, the traffickers and the respective countries. In Chapter II it examines how Israel derives considerable profits from human trafficking, both directly and indirectly. Chapter III shows how Israel's state coffers profit from the struggle against human trafficking – principally through the confiscation of property and fines.
