Israeli Manager Found Guilty of
Illegal Employment at His Employer’s Premises
|
|
The
Regional Labor Court in Be’er Sheva found a former manager of B.H. Levy Ltd. to
be personally guilty of illegal employment of foreign nationals at his former
employer at the time of the offense.
|
|
|
|
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.
