Taken Israel as a case under investigation, Mingot addressed the metamorphosis the Sudanese migrant undergoes in relation to the decisions she/he makes in deciding the host community they target as a final destination in their migratory behavior. Ester revealed that geographical proximity, flexibility of laws as well as the facilities, opportunities and services offered to the migrants in the host country play important role for the Sudanese migrants to decide on the host community they target.
