Objection 115/09 - Ashmar et al. v. Ministry of Interior, Population, Immigration and Border Crossing Authority Decision
Decision of the commissioner for foreign nationals’ objections at the interior ministry in an objection filed by HaMoked seeking to instruct the population administration to upgrade the status of three applicants to temporary residency. In all three cases, the commissioner found that the decision not to upgrade the applications’ status (they objected prior to the government’s May 2002 decision to freeze family unification for Palestinians) resulted from unjustified delays in processing by the interior ministry and instructed the three be granted status. In the objection, HaMoked claimed the status had not been upgraded due to negligent conduct by the interior ministry, the ISA or both and therefore the applications are entitled to the upgrade. Document available in Hebrew.
