In the shadow of the initiative of the parties of the forming coalition to cancel the grandson clause in the law of returns, MK Yuli Edelstein pleaded today (Tuesday) during a special discussion to mark Aliya Day that "it is not worth touching the law.
If we come to changes in the Law of Return, in five years it will not exist."
Edelstein added: "Let's not propose to make it a fundamental law, let's not propose to change anything in it, let's not propose to improve it. Leave it alone. And with the right policy, many things can be changed without touching the Law of Return."
MK from Otzma Yehudit Amichai Eliyahu said in the debate: "In the State of Israel today there are those who want to abolish the concept of aliyah.
There are those who try to cancel the definition of the State of Israel as the center of the Jewish people as the national center of the Jewish people.
In my eyes, this is a tragedy because it sees the State of Israel only as a security anchor."
"There are those who are trying to cancel the definition of the State of Israel."

MK Gilad Karib of the Labor Party responded: "The incessant talk about introducing changes to the Law of Return and canceling the grandson clause, about legislation in the field of conversion that would give a monopoly to the rabbinic establishment that deliberately and knowingly failed in this important Zionist and national mission, and the placing of the Nativ organization under the responsibility of an extremist member of Knesset who thinks Most of the immigrants who came here thanks to the work of this organization, it would have been better not to come at all.
All of these indicate that the next government is going to tattoo the vision of Kibbutz HaGalot and undermine the foundations of the aliya enterprise."
