An organization linked to terrorism that operates in a delegitimization campaign against Israel is taking advantage of the expiration of the Family Reunification Procedure to encourage Palestinians to obtain Israeli citizenship.
St. Eve is an organization that defines itself as a "legal aid organization" whose founders have expressed support for the boycott movement on Israel.
On February 3, two days after the expiration of the Family Reunification Procedure, which was implemented by Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, the association launched a new campaign.
The campaign, which received media coverage in the Palestinian media, appeals to the Arab population in Judea and Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem, calling on them to take advantage of the legal vacuum in Israel, and to petition for a blue ID card.
The "St. Eve" statement states that "the Israeli Ministry of the Interior is obliged, in a Supreme Court decision, to accept and process applications for a blue identity card for those who have received family reunification permits and to receive immediate treatment and treatment ... anyone who has received family reunification, for more "From 5 years can apply for a temporary blue identity card. In addition, any Palestinian married man, under the age of 35, or a Palestinian woman under the age of 25, can apply for a new union, provided that the application is submitted before March 13, 2002."
St. Eve's headquarters,
The organization lists additional legal routes that allow the beginning of the route for obtaining Israeli citizenship.
"St. Eve calls on all those who have been granted family reunification to come to its office in Jerusalem - the Old City of Av al-Khalil (Jaffa Gate) and take advantage of the golden opportunity to demand residency rights that Palestinians have been denied since 2002," the association said in a post.
BDS pioneers
St. Eve was founded by former patriarch Michel Sabah, who was one of the promoters of BDS in the church world.
The head of the organization's political department was arrested a decade ago and convicted of links to the "Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine" terrorist organization.
In 2014, the police prevented a conference of the organization, on the grounds that it was organized together with the Popular Front.
With the start of the corona vaccination campaign in Israel, St. Eve claimed that the state was discriminating against the Palestinians.
In addition, in the last decade, the association has conducted thousands of legal petitions by Palestinians in Israeli courts, with the aim of flooding the courts and thus thwarting demolition orders for illegal structures.
Raed Halabi, head of the organization's information department, wrote in 2020: "We must remove the recognition of Israel, an illegal entity that was established on the basis of power and oppression, and will disappear only through the same basis of power and oppression. No peace, no negotiations, no To surrender. "
Although its activities take place out of the Old City of Jerusalem, and despite Israel Today's exposure of the heavy damage it causes to law enforcement in Jerusalem, state authorities have not acted to stop its activities.
Matan Peleg, chairman of the If You Will movement, said in response to St. Eve's attempt to recruit Palestinians to take advantage of the expiration of the Family Reunification Prevention Law, For them - immediately stop the procrastination, show responsibility for the issue of citizenship law and vote for an agreed wording.
The avalanche is on its way if our elected representatives do not recover. "
As you may recall, yesterday in Israel Today, GSS data was revealed regarding the increased involvement in terrorism of Israeli Arabs, who have a blue identity card and whose parents grew up in Gaza or Judea and Samaria.
