The Ministry of Interior in Israel has published recent statistics revealing that 86% of immigrants to the occupied Palestine since 2012 were non-Jews.

Yedeiot Ahranot, a wide circulated daily newspaper in Israel, pointed out that those immigrants could not either marry or break ties of marriage in Israel because they have been registered as non-Jews ( known in the Jewish traditions as Gentiles of infields).

The official statistics indicate that some 179.849 immigrants went to stay in the occupied Palestinian territories over the period between January 2012 through October 2019.

Those immigrants went to Israel under the mandate of what is so-called the Law of Return.

The Israeli authorities enacted that legislation in the wake of declaration of Israel as an independent state on May 15, 1948.

That controversial law grants citizenship of Israel along with other financial advantages to the Jews as soon as they land in the Palestinian territories.

About 14% of the immigrants to Israel during the last seven years were Jews.

More than 154.474 immigrants were non-Jews at all.

Those immigrants embrace other faiths or religions.

A great number of the non-Jews claimed that one of their grandfathers was a Jew somehow.

The Law of Return says that anybody born to a Jewess or converts into Judaism has the right to gain the Israeli citizenship when he comes to Palestine to stay there.

The Israeli parliament( known as the Knesset) added a new article named the term of the grandchild to grant the Israeli citizenship.

The right to have the Israeli citizenship is transferred from the original entitled people to their sons and grandsons also according the amendments passed by the Knesset.

Russia was the main source of the immigrants to Israel.

More than 52.337 persons immigrated to Israel within the last seven years, only 4.3% were Jews.

Ukraine, France and the USA were the other sources of immigrants to Israel respectively.
