The Ministry of Internal Affairs is going to revoke the citizenship of repatriates suspected of spying for Iran.

The Israeli Interior Minister has ordered to study the issue of revoking the citizenship of repatriates suspected of spying for Iran. The state intends to tighten legislation against persons engaged in intelligence activities of hostile countries and who have violated public trust. Israel strives to eliminate espionage as an unacceptable phenomenon.

In the case of espionage, deprivation of citizenship seems appropriate and correct. With God's help, we will act to eradicate espionage as a shameful and unacceptable phenomenon. These measures apply not only to spies, but also to corrupt officials, bribe-takers, politicians and civil servants.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasized the need to combat espionage and emphasized that deprivation of citizenship in such cases is the correct and appropriate step. Israel is going to tighten its legislation and act decisively on this issue.
