To the issue of the 4th generation. December 26, 2016

December 28, 2016

The protocol data of the meeting on Aliyah and Absorption regarding the 4th generation. December 26, 2016.

Speech by the representative of the Ministry of Interior: The representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked the Chairman of the Commission: - Do you want to change the law of return, give the right of repatriation to the 4th generation? The Chairman replied: - No. - Well then, if you want to speed up the citizenship adoption process for the 4th generation, - said the representative, - it is necessary to change the law on citizenship. At present, the law is what it is, and we fulfill it.

After that the word was given to the Amuta representative Kesher. She said that the problem really is that immigrants, parents of the 3rd generation simply do not know that it is necessary to renew their A5 visa every year, and in 3 years apply for citizenship. They do not know, because no one tells them this. Upon their arrival they see that their children are inscribed in Teudat zeut, and mistakenly believe that their rights and the rights of their 4th generation children are identical. And if they do not renew the A5 and do not apply for the citizenship, the underage children lose the resident rights and all the related rights - Health Insurance, benefits from the National Insurance Institute and other rights.

Therefore, the word immediately was given to Kouchner, manager of the Integration Ministry, who was obliged to introduce a rule of informing the immigrants that they have to take care of the immigration status of their children. (We will monitor the implementation of the guidelines and, if necessary, we will contact the ministry).

Regarding those who have arrived after their 15th birthday and did not acquire their citizenship prior to their 18th birthday, there is a problem. And the representative of the Ministry of Interior has asked for an amendment to the law to solve it, but the lawyer From Kesher said: - There is the right of the Minister for the exception to the rule. And so in this case, it is required to send a letter to the Interior Ministry. And you can, ALWAYS, taking advantage of today's decision of the Commission, send them the names of the 4th generation children, who have problems acquiring their citizenship. And the Commission will transmit the names directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and thus in take care of the issue. That was it. We can only add that the brand-new immigrants is some kind of infinite blessing for our gray heads :-)

Amuta's Magen Mishpacha offered her services to coordinate the transfer of the lists, and the Chairman of the commission instructed the Secretary to the Commission to hand out Amuta the contacts.
