Many Israelis have been taking out European passports in recent years, for a variety of reasons: thoughts of moving, free academic studies for children, standing in a shortened line at the entrance to continental countries and "it's always good to have it".
Although Britain no longer belongs to the European Union, if you were thinking about moving to one of the countries of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), know that the candidates must pass an American test of questions about life in the Kingdom, its history and the way of life there.
However, claims have been made in Britain that the test is so difficult that even the British will have difficulty passing it.
Last year the Lords Committee claimed that the level of the test should be reviewed urgently.
The Home Secretary, Simon Murray, promised to check the level of difficulty of the test by this June.
So if you're going to apply for British citizenship, you'll have to pay £50 to take the test and answer 75 percent of the questions. Think you'll be able to answer the questions in it? Come and try.
