“Jewish Telegraphic Agency” reports that the Israeli government approved the bill according to which in order to obtain citizenship of this country or a residence permit, applicants will need to take an oath of allegiance to the democratic and Jewish state.
So Benjamin Netanyahu – Israeli Prime Minister said that the only democratic state in the Middle East is Israel. In addition, there is no other Jewish state in the world. The combination of such noble values as these is the basis of the life of the Jewish nation, so the one who wants to become part of it must recognize this. This statement was made shortly before the start of government debate. Thus, out of thirty Israeli ministers, twenty -two members of the Cabinet of Ministers cast their votes for amendments to the law on citizenship.
“The Guardian” reports that according to the amendments made to the law, the Jewish combatants of Israeli citizenship will not need to make this oath. Thus, it is believed that in most cases it will be necessary to swear allegiance to Israel to residents of the Palestinian autonomy, gathering to get into the marriage with Israeli citizens.
According to Yitzhak Duke – Minister of Social Support of Israel, he gives fascism from this amendment. In his opinion, a rather frightening picture is formed, which threatens Israel, primarily as a democratic state. He also added that the Israelis will still pay for this, because such decisions will probably interfere with the currently current negotiations with the authorities of the Palestinian autonomy.
At the same time, “Maan News Agency” writes that one of the representatives of “Hamas” called the measures provided for in the new law an attempt to exterminate the national Palestinian features.
The Financial Times report that, according to some analysts, the adoption of the Law on Oath of Israel is an attempt by Netanya to pacify the fervor of the “right” in the Cabinet of Ministers. If he can enlist their support, then establish the process of negotiations with the Palestinian autonomy will be much easier.
So many experts believe that the main reason for the success of the recently resumed between Israel and Palestinian autonomy of peace negotiations may be a possible decision of the Israeli government to extend the moratorium on the construction of any structures on the western coast of Jordan. Recall that a ten -month moratorium expired on September twenty -six.
