Israeli Ministry Suspends Jewish Status of 2,200 Children 😮

The Israeli Interior Ministry has denied the Jewish status of more than 2,200 children born to immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Typically, the investigations begin when a citizen from the former Soviet Union has a child and registers it with the Ministry. It appears that when officials notice that an individual is from the former Soviet Union, they begin their investigations into their Jewish status by examining immigration documents. When the Interior Ministry flags up an individual they believe not to be Jewish, a letter is sent to them informing them of indeterminate issues with their Jewish status. The letter informs the addressee that, should they refuse to agree to their change in status and be unable to provide requisite proof that they are indeed Jewish, the ministry will seek a court order to change their status without their permission, and threatens that they will be liable to pay court costs as well.
