The Yesh Atid party has appealed to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to reveal the decision-making process in the Exceptions Committee that approves entry and exit from Israel.

In a letter sent by the party to the ombudsman, with copies to the cabinet ministers and a secretary in the government, they demand an immediate investigation into the activities of the Exceptions Committee, publishing the identities of its members, its decisions, reasons, and clear and transparent criteria for its work. Which revealed serious omissions in the work of the committee.



According to the government decision, Ben Gurion Airport is only open for the landing of rescue flights - with a quota of 2,000 incoming passengers a day.

The investigation revealed a series of omissions, protections and combinations in the Exceptions Committee that decides who will enter the country and who will not.



According to the investigation, the vast majority of passengers allowed to enter Israel are ultra-Orthodox, who use their ties with the ultra-Orthodox to obtain a permit to enter Israel, while other clear humanitarian cases are ignored.

The investigation also pointed to an industry of forgeries for recovering certificates in the ultra-Orthodox sector as a condition for entering the country.

Bad Futures argue that there are political considerations behind the conduct.

According to the chairman of Yesh Atid, Yair Lapid, "What works today at Ben Gurion Airport is not an exceptions committee, this is a voting committee. Tens of thousands of good Israelis are stuck abroad and the only people who are allowed to enter are the voters of Netanyahu, Litzman and Ben Gvir.

We will appeal to the High Court, we will turn to the Attorney General, we will stop this national scandal. "



Gideon Saar, the new chairman of Tikva and a candidate for prime minister, also attacked the committee's work, saying that he "reiterates his call for all Israeli citizens abroad to return to Israel safely. There is no logic in continuing to violate civil rights and the return of Israelis to a political protection committee."



Meretz chairman Nitzan Horowitz wrote this evening that "Netanyahu, Regev and Litzman are making a selection at Ben Gurion Airport. Haredim and associates? Inside. Secular? Your problem."

He said, "As a direct corona treatment under the provisions of the rabbis, we moved now the method of selection to put voters anxious and hurt left. Meretz turned to the Legal Adviser to stop the deterioration and will continue to fight for equality for all Israelis and for the left."



Faction of Israel Beitenu began collecting signatures to convene a discussion A special plenum on the conduct of issuing entry permits into Israel.

Severe omissions in the work of the committee.

On the other hand, the chairman of Shas, Minister Aryeh Deri, attacked the allegations and said that this was a "poisonous and ugly campaign against the ultra-Orthodox, which probably stems from political considerations."

He said, "In the Exceptions Committee there is no preference for any population. Many ultra-Orthodox come from New York, many secular come from Frankfurt. And about helping the weak families: A million people will soon receive food aid. A small portion is for needy ultra-Orthodox families and I wish there was more money for more people."



The chairman of Religious Zionism, Bezalel Smutrich, joined in and said that the committee is working properly. "They are working around the clock under a crazy load and examining tens of thousands of applications.

At the end of the day it is a matter of discretion, and sometimes something falls between the chairs.

The attempt to claim that there is a preference for a sector or a particular reason is completely unfounded.

It is part of a false and planned campaign against the right and the national camp, which naturally includes the ultra-Orthodox. "
