Only Jews in Israel have the right to citizenship
Israel's citizenship law is quite 'strict'
DEC 19 (WTN) - As you know, at present, there is a dispute in India over the Citizenship Amendment Act due to the nomination of the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). The Modi government says that without any reason opposition parties, including Congress, are opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act, and they are trying to provoke people. In fact, the Modi government maintains that the ongoing controversy over CAA is due to imprudence. But for your information, let us know that apart from India, there are strict citizenship laws in other countries of the world. An example of this is the citizenship law of Israel, which remains the subject of discussion at this time.
For your information, let us tell that Israel gives citizenship of its country to the Jews all over the world, but people of other religions hardly get citizenship there. Indeed, the CAA of India has been compared by many to the citizenship law of Israel. This is because the citizenship law of Israel generally gives more importance to a single religion i.e. Judaism. But in CAA implemented by the Modi government, only one religion is not given importance. As far as the citizenship law of Israel is concerned, the citizenship law in Israel, the only Jewish country in the world, is very strict and the law is very strict for Muslims and Arabs. Although Israel also has a Muslim population, it is only 17 percent.
For your information, let us state that Israel as a country was established in the year 1948 when a new country was born as Israel after the Arab-Israeli War. Earlier this area was called Mandatory Palestine. When Israel as a country got existent before the whole world, Israel considered it a country of Jews from all over the world. As you know, the Jews struggled a lot for this country, so when the draft of the citizenship law was introduced in the Parliament of Israel in the year 1950, it was first noticed that Israel is a nation of Jews.
The citizenship law of Israel makes it clear that it is difficult for people of religion other than Judaism to gain citizenship and living in Israel. For the sake of information, at this time about 74.2 percent of the population in Israel is of Jews, while in Israel 20.9 percent of Arab-origin people live while 4.8 percent of people of other religions live. Since the creation of Israel as a country in 1948, people of no other religion have been granted citizenship, except for Jews from outside. Not only this, the situation was created before Arabs to leave Israel.
For your information, let us know that the citizenship law in Israel works on four grounds. First of all, wherever Jews are living all over the world and they want to come to Israel, they will be given citizenship of Israel. The second base is domicile, i.e. people who have been residing in the geographical area of Israel since the year 1949 are entitled to citizenship of Israel. The third basis for citizenship is birth, i.e. one born on the earth of Israel will be considered a citizen of Israel. The fourth basis is neutralization, that is, if Israel wants to give citizenship to someone, then it can give citizenship. The most important fact in the citizenship law of Israel is that if any Jewish child is born anywhere in the world, he has the right to acquire citizenship of Israel.
In 1952, when the citizenship law came into force in Israel, let you know that Israel was accused of intentionally expelling Palestinians settled on the outskirts of its western territory out of Israel. The same situation happened for Muslim Arabs living inside Israel. Arab and Muslim countries have been continuously accusing Israel that Muslims of Arab origin, who had been living inside Israel for a long time, were forced to flee by the Israeli government.
The controversy between Jews and Arabs continues in Israel even today. From the parliament to the jobs and trade, the Jewish people have complete dominance. For your information, let us know that the Arab population in Israel does not have the right to join the army and administration. However, in 1999, the Supreme Court of Israel in a major decision said that if a Jewish child is following another religion, they will not be eligible for immigration to Israel and will not be considered Jewish. For your information, let us know that Israel has changed its citizenship amendment law 13 times, but it is so clear that people of other religions from outside countries cannot get citizenship in Israel.
