The following information was provided during a 20 October 1997 telephone interview with a representative of the Association For Civil Rights (ACRI) in Jerusalem.
The source stated that ACRI has not received any complaints on this subject. The source added that Israeli citizens who seek asylum abroad and return to Israel would not face problems with the Israeli authorities. If there were such a case, the person could seek the assistance of the many Israeli non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in the fields of human and civil rights in Israel.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
