The Supreme Court rejects the State's appeal against rulings made by the Administrative Court to the effect that children of Israeli residents who were born and live in Israel can be registered in the Israeli population registry even if they were registered in the Palestinian population registry: The Court ruled that not everyone registered in the Palestinian population registry is necessarily a resident of the Territories and that the amendments to the law must not be retroactively applied to applications submitted before it was passed, at least until the amendment to the Entry into Israel La

HaMoked has contacted the Ministry of the Interior in an effort to oppose Government Decision No. 2492: According to the decision, Palestinians who have lived in Jerusalem for many years without status will no longer receive permanent status, even if they prove that they have lived in the city since 1967

On 12 March 2008, HaMoked submitted an administrative petition on behalf of a resident of Jerusalem. The Ministry of the Interior is demanding that the man’s son be registered in the Palestinian Population Registry before the son is registered in the Israeli Population Registry: HaMoked argues that the ministry’s demand is unreasonable and contrary to the ministry’s own procedures concerning the registration of children

HaMoked petitions the HCJ to cancel the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law inasmuch as it applies to the minor children of permanent residents of Israel, or alternatively to establish that any child one of whose parents is a permanent resident of Israel and the child lives with said parent in Israel will be eligible for permanent residency in Israel: HaMoked claims the Law must be cancelled as it is unconstitutional and motivated by demographic-racist and economic considerations. The Law also contradicts the judgment given in HCJ 7052/03
28.12.2006
HaMoked urges the Knesset not to extend the validity of the Law of Citizenship and Entry to Israel (Temporary Order): HaMoked is of the opinion that the “relief” measures appearing in Amendment 2 to the Law are a deception. In fact, the legislation preserves and even worsens he draconian arrangement, which is based on clear racial and demographic considerations cloaked in security rationale
28.11.2006
A new policy implemented by the State of Israel, by force of the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (Temporary Order), prevents Palestinian children from receiving legal status in Israel as an inseparable part of the freeze on the processing of applications for family unification: HaMoked and B'Tselem urge the Interior Ministry to immediately renew the registration process for children in an efficient and practical manner, based on the recognition of the rights of all residents and citizens of Israel to reside with their children in the place of their choice, and urges the Knesset to act im
27.11.2006
New proposed amendment to the Entry into Israel Law, designed to bypass the HCJ: In a position paper published on November 27, 2006, HaMoked establishes that the Proposed Entry into Israel Law (amendment no. 19) – 2006, blatantly contravenes Israeli and international law and stands in stark contradiction to the HCJ's ruling on this issue
14.05.2006
The HCJ rejects petitions against the Law of Citizenship and Entry into Israel (Temporary Order): the law, one of the most condemnable Israel has ever passed, aims to prevent family unifications of Israeli citizens and residents with their spouses who are residents of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This is a discriminatory act of legislation which denies a large section of the Israeli public the ability to freely choose a life partner and build a family on the basis of ethnic-national origins
27.07.2005
The Amendment to the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (Temporary Order) enacted by the Knesset maintains the force and effect of unconstitutional legislation: The law, intended to restrict family unification between Israeli citizens and residents and Palestinians residing in the Occupied Territories, is among the harshest laws enacted by Israel, a law that is based on ethnic-national grounds and denies an entire population the possibility to freely choose their spouses in order to establish a family

Child registration – Jerusalem: HaMoked petitions against the Interior Ministry’s new policy not to grant a status in Israel to children of residents of Israel born in the OPT, or to grant a status in Israel to children registered in the OPT population registry, even if born in Israel. The policy applies to children who are living with their Israeli-resident parent in Israel. As a result of Israel’s policy, the children do not receive social benefits and health insurance, and in many cases, the children are forced to live apart from their parent
