Israel’s Chief Sephardi Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef says that according to Jewish law, “a non-Jew is forbidden from living in the Land of Israel.”

The rabbis contends that only non-Jews who accept the seven Noahide laws can live in Israel, but that today there’s no enforcement of that principle. The seven laws are tenets outlined in the Talmud, which God supposedly gave to all humankind. One of the laws is a prohibition on suicide.

“If a non-Jew is not willing to accept the seven Noahide laws, we must send him to Saudi Arabia,” he says in a video published by Channel 10. “When the complete and true redemption comes, we will do this.”
