In this article, we will touch on the procedures for regulating the status of asylum seekers in Israel, and the procedures in the custody courts established by virtue of the Entry into Israel Law.
As is known in recent years, the number of infiltrators from African countries has been decreasing, and this is due to the construction of the fence on the southern border, which reduced the number of infiltrators to zero, and also due to a great war by the state institutions against the aforementioned phenomenon of infiltration
Despite the media coverage of the infiltrators from Africa, there are a variety of asylum seekers from countries around the world, some due to regional war and some due to family or political persecution.
Israel is one of the signatories to the 1951 International Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, and the 1967 Additional Protocol.
Section A(3) of the Convention establishes five conditions for defining a person as a refugee:
“Because of a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, citizenship, belonging to a certain social grouping or a certain political view and cannot need the protection of that country, or does not want to because of the said fear; or who is due to the said events outside the country where he previously had his place of residence permanent, and he is stateless, and cannot return to that country or does not want to because of the said fear.”
In Israel there is a belief in the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers
– RSD (refugee determination status)
which is associated with the Ministry of the Interior.

In order to receive recognition as a refugee, it is necessary to submit a reasoned individual application based on the reasons listed above.
Until the type 5(a)2 approval is received, the applicant’s status does not allow work in Israel, and the employer is expected to be fined ten thousand shekels.
After the above approval is given, his status changes to “asylum seeker”, and he is even given permission to work based on the recent High Court ruling on the matter.

Even if the request is rejected by the authorities, an appeal can be filed against the decision of the Ministry of the Interior to the Court of Appeals.

For individual advice and handling of the procedures accompanying the submission of the application and the appeal in court, it is recommended to contact our offices.
