Push to pass nationality law in israel in less than a month.“ (Riyad Hayyan, The Jerusalem Post)
The Zionist-run Knesset, led by MK Nachman Shai (Likud), will begin the legislative process on Monday and the majority of its members, including the MKs and Yisrael Beiteinu legislators, are likely to vote for the bill, according to sources in the Knesset.
The legislation was crafted by the Law and Justice and the centrist party Beiteinu, and it would amend the citizenship law, allo오바마카지노wing for the granting of Palestinian nationality on humanitarian grounds, as well as citizenship in a third state including the Palestinian territories.

Speaking at the Yesh Din event in the West Bank, MK Yair Lapid, an opposition leader and a member of the center-left Knesset, suggested that the Israeli government should consider the possibility of extending to the whole of the country Palestinian citizenship, and said that the government should „not just say yes,“ but „make sure the citizenship is not of Israeli origin, it has to be of national origin, but the nationality has to be national. Citizenship for all, for all“
Lapid also called for extending national service to people with Israeli citizenship.
MKs voted against an initiative on allowing citizens to have citizenship on humanitarian grounds in 2010 but received an additional five-seat majority to pass the bill by a two-third
