There are several ways to obtain Israeli citizenship. Firstly, new OLIM who are eligible to immigrate under the Law of Return<\/a>, as Jews or descendants of Jews, automatically receive citizenship after their aliyah application is approved and they arrive in the country. Secondly, children of Israeli citizens are granted Israeli citizenship by birth, whether born in Israel or abroad, according to Section 4 of the Citizenship Law. Sometimes, children of Israeli citizens born abroad<\/a>, whose parents did not register them as Israelis with the Israeli consulate, are required to prove the Israeli parent\u2019s paternity through a DNA test and a court ruling on paternity. Thirdly, foreign spouses<\/a> married to Israelis or living in a domestic partnership with an Israeli are eligible for Israeli citizenship based on Section 7 of the Citizenship Law. Fourthly, permanent residents of Israel who meet the criteria of Section 5 of the Citizenship Law are eligible to naturalize in Israel<\/a> under the conditions set forth in the Citizenship Law.<\/p>\n
