How did hundreds of refugees end up on Durban’s streets outside Home Affairs?

Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has denied claims that the death penalty was discussed during a visit by an Israeli delegation in May, according to CNA. The MHA clarified that officials from the Israel Prison Service and National Security Ministry visited Singapore, but the death penalty was not on the agenda. MHA spokesman stated that it would be "false to suggest otherwise" to claim that the death penalty was discussed.

The delegation focused on best practices in emergency response, crime prevention and forensics. Singapore and Israel maintain regular cooperation in various areas, including security and counterterrorism.
