New Nationality for Christians: Aramaean - Inside Israel - News - Arutz Sheva
Reblogged from www.israelnationalnews.com
Interior Minister Gideon Saar has instructed the Population, Immigration and Border
Authority (PIBA) to allow the registration of a new nationality –
Aramaean – in the identity cards of Christian citizens who were
registered as Arabs until now.
In a letter to PIBA Director Amnon Ben-Ami, Saar wrote that he has “received three opinions according to which the existence of the Aramaean nationality is clear and obvious, as required by the Supreme Court's ruling.”
"The conditions required by the ruling for proving the existence of the nationality are present – including historical heritage, religion, culture, descent and language," he determined.
Saar wrote that “the registration clerks must be instructed in accordance with the Population Registry Law that a resident who first registers in the Population Registry, and who requests to be registered as an Aramaean in the nationality detail, will be able to register thus.”
Saar's decision applies to most of the Christians currently living in Israel, or about 130,000 out of a total of 160,000. They applied as a group to the Interior Ministry in 2010 and will now finally be allowed to register as Aramaean. Read More:
