[107810] Israel will grant temporary status to thousands of asylum seekers from Sudan
The Israeli government has announced a new outline for granting temporary status to Sudanese citizens who have been staying in Israel for over a decade, subject to security and criminal conditions.
Policy Change: Israel will grant temporary status to asylum seekers from Sudan
In a significant move in the field of immigration, it was published that Israel will grant temporary status to most asylum seekers from Sudan staying within the country's borders. According to reports, eligibility is conditional upon the applicants having resided in Israel "continuously for more than ten years," as noted on the Daniel Amram without censorship channel.
In addition to the residency requirement, the authorities have set further conditions for receiving the status: the applicant must prove that "at least a year has passed" since they submitted their political asylum request. Furthermore, there is a strict security and criminal threshold: candidates will be eligible for the status only if "there is no security or criminal obstacle against them," as detailed in Hadashot 360.
The channel Daniel Amram without censorship, which sometimes takes a critical line toward the administration and state institutions, defined the move as "legitimate or less so," while presenting the dry data regarding the policy change. Conversely, Hadashot 360 reported the news in a neutral reporting line, focusing on the technical breakdown of the criteria for receiving the status.
The decision is expected to regularize the status of many Sudanese citizens who have lived in Israel for many long years, under these restrictions designed to ensure that only those who meet the security and legal threshold conditions will be able to continue and stay in the country in a regulated manner.
