Our law office in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv specializes in immigration to Israel. We often handle requests from visitors who are refused entry and represent clients in appeals against refusal of entry into Israel submitted to the Israeli Ministry of the Interior (Misrad Hapnim). Other articles on our website describe the process of refusal of entry and deportation from Israel<\/a>, and how to avoid it<\/a>. This article by Advocate Joshua Pex, a partner in the law firm, is based on an updated procedure published by the Ministry of Interior on 20\/07\/2017, explaining the main reasons for the refusal of entry into Israel which happen mainly at the Ben Gurion airport and other border crossings.<\/p>\n According to the 1952 Entry into Israel Law<\/a>, the Minister of the Interior has a great deal of discretion on issues of visas and entry to Israel. The minister of interior and the immigration officers at the border crossings may allow or deny permission to enter Israel for any visitor who is not a resident or citizen of Israel. This authority allows also to deport non-residents or non-citizens. The legal basis is the principle of territorial sovereignty – the right of each state to determine who may cross or reside in its territory. The decision can be logical and taken with due care, or even apparently arbitrary, but still legal. Of course, the reasons for refusing entry or expulsion from Israel are usually anchored in the law, legal precedent, and common sense, as detailed below.<\/p>\nThe Legal Basis for Refusal of Entry into Israel:<\/h2>\n
