Justice minister: Jewish newcomers too should swear allegiance
None
Justice Minister Yaacov Ne'eman proposed a different formulation for the amendment to the Citizenship Law, which would oblige Jewish immigrants too to declare their loyalty to Israel as a "Jewish and democratic" state. As the law stands now, those seeking citizenship under the Law of Return are not required to swear allegiance of any sort. (Aviad Glickman and Attila Somfalvi)
