Unless you are a Palestinian from the West Bank or Gaza. Then you can consider Israeli citizenship a non-starter. Used to be if you were a Palestinian, you could marry a Israeli and apply for citizenship, but in the last ten years they passed a law prohibiting that as well. |
It's not open by any means. I just didn't want to give the impression that only Jews can be Israelis.

20% of the Israelis are not Jews. |

I lived in Israel from 1957 to 1967 as an Israeli citizen. While there, I served in the IDF for 2.5 years. (conscription).
I couldn't say that I enjoyed much in those 10 years there.
Regardless, I wish them all the best.
Disclaimer: I consider myself to be an atheist from birth. I do not feel to be responsible for what my step-parents happened to believe in a half a century ago.
