Criminal proceedings have been brought against the manager after an inspection by Ministry of Interior inspectors found two foreign workers without permits within the Supermarket premises. The illegal employment of the two workers took place in 2019 and lasted for a short period of four months.


The court found the manager guilty, imposed a high fine on him, and mandated him to avoid committing another offense for three years.

     

Last Call to Get On Board and Make Aliyah: The Possible Cancellation of the “Grandchild Clause”


The Law of Return is one of the most fundamental laws of Israel providing Jews, their children, their spouses, and their grandchildren the right to immigrate to Israel and acquire Israeli citizenship.

In 1970 the law was amended to include the “Grandchild Clause” which allows any person with at least one Jewish grandparent to immigrate to Israel so long as he/she does not practice another religion, and even if they are not considered Jewish according to (Halacha) Jewish law.


Following the recent 2022 government elections, during the new government’s coalition negotiations, the far-right and religious parties have stated their intention to abolish the so-called Grandchild Clause in the Law of Return, in order to maintain Israel’s Jewish majority.


The suggested legislation may go into effect immediately, and may even affect ongoing cases. KTA urges anyone currently eligible under the Grandchild Clause, who is interested in making Aliyah, to submit their application either in Israel or at the Israeli consulate abroad immediately, as a precaution in the event that the Grandchild Clause is abolished by the new government.

     

The Automatic Asylum Seekers Visa Renewal was Cancelled


The Ministry of Interior has canceled the automatic extension of asylum seekers’ visas, and asylum seekers now need to renew their visas at the Population Authority facility in Bnei Brak or in Eilat.


Although non-renewal does not involve the risk of immediate deportation, employers are warned to make sure the foreign nationals have a valid visa that allows them to work in Israel.


Among the asylum seekers in Israel are nationals of Eritrea, Sudan, Congo, China, and Russia.
