Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Law of Return by deleting the provision that allows a grandchild of a Jew to receive rights and a citizenship connection, even if the grandchild themselves or their parents are not Jewish. According to the explanatory notes, the amendment aims to limit eligibility to the children of a Jewish person only, in order to reduce cases in which people without a real connection to the Jewish people receive rights under the law.
