New immigrants to Israel to receive citizenship upon arrival

The Knesset unanimously approves the second and third reading of a new bill that will grant new immigrants a passport upon their arrival in Israel.

The bill, proposed by Yisrael Beytenu MKs Oded Forer and Yulia Malinovsky, will do away with the current 12-month waiting period for a passport.

The new law passes 28-0, with no abstentions.
