(Worthy News) – Senior Cabinet Ministers decried a ruling made by Israel’s Supreme Court Wednesday morning that nullified a clause in a law about foreign workers residing in Israel. The clause required than any government financial or social benefits earned by a foreign worker in accordance with the law become forfeit should the worker illegally remain in Israel after his visa expired.

Only one of the seven judges on the committee disagreed, Justice Noam Sohlberg. [ Source: Jewish Press (Read More…) ]
