Immigrant spouse naturalisation in Israel

The article Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law says that Israel currently bars nationals of a few hostile countries, most significantly the Palestinian Authority, from being automatically naturalised when they marry an Israeli citizen. It doesn't say if these people can still live in Israel with another type of status, or if they can request to be naturalised with a realistic chance of success. Does anyone know the facts please? 94.12.81.251 (talk) 11:23, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Matters of residency and temporary vs. permanent status are handled by the Ministry of the Interior (Israel)#Responsibilities (official website in Hebrew and Arabic). "Family reunification" is a consideration but no guarantee of either residency or citizenship for a non-Israeli marrying an Israeli citizen of any nationality, while Israel's Law of Return covers applications by those of Jewish ancestry. An application by an individual coming from an area designated as "hostile" would presumably provide a great deal of supportive, documented evidence that "the center of [their] life is in Israel" and posing no security risk. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel offers this extensive article, "Denial of Citizenship," with relevant information under the headings “'Humanitarian Exceptions': The Violation of the Right to Family Life" and "Difficulties in the Formalization of Status of non-Jewish Spouses." ACRI and other local civil rights and human rights organizations in Israel would be knowledgeable about the history and present circumstances of such applications. -- Deborahjay (talk) 14:06, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
