1. This would be great news if he was the only Sudanese refugee in Israel.

Unfortunately, there are over 4000 of them, so this is at best a miniscule step towards recognizing their human rights.

Sudanese in Israel
Source: Wikipedia

Sudanese refugees in Israel (Arabic: اللاجئون السودانيون في إسرائي‎‎ ) refers to citizens of Sudan who have sought refuge in Israel due to military conflict at home, and to those who moved there illegally as migrant workers. In 2008, there were 4,000 Sudanese in Israel, 1,200 from Darfur and the remainder Christians from South Sudan. The majority infiltrated through the Israeli-Egypt border. Most live in Tel-Aviv, Arad, Eilat and Bnei Brak.
