Summary
Amendment No. 10 (2011) to the Citizenship Law, allowing courts to revoke citizenship on an Interior Ministry request as part of a criminal sentence, in a Description-only entry in Discriminatory Laws Database (lines 1699-1729).
Details
- Enacted 28 March 2011; revocation for convictions including treason, espionage, assisting the enemy in wartime, violating state sovereignty, serving in enemy forces, or acts of terrorism as defined under the Prohibition on Terrorist Financing Law (2005) (lines 1705-1711).
- Revocation only if the person has dual citizenship or resides outside Israel; otherwise residency status is granted instead of citizenship, restricting political participation (lines 1713-1715).
- The entry says Adalah opposed the law on 26 October 2010 as targeting Arab citizens and making their citizenship conditional, and that it was proposed following the arrest and indictment of Ameer Makhoul (lines 1717-1729).
