AAA 8630/11 Radwan et al. v State of Israel - Minister of the Interior Respondents' Response

HaMoked's response to the State's notice regarding a change to the procedure for registering children which requires two years of "center of life" prior to submitting a request. HaMoked claims that by changing its policy - determining that the children's age at the time of submitting the request is the deciding age - the Ministry of Interior recognizes the rigidity of its conduct thus far. HaMoked adds that the State hasn't addressed the upgrade of children's temporary residency to permanent residency, and demands that the change apply to ongoing procedures, including the appellants. HaMoked stresses that the arrangement defined by the Ministry of Interior does not match the legislator's intentions, who was concerned with security issues, and seriously harms the children's status and the right to family life.
