(Worthy News) – The Israel Democracy Institute on Sunday challenged Israel’s coronavirus restrictions on entry to the country that have left thousands of Israelis stranded abroad, saying they constitute an extreme erosion of rights that could infringe on citizens’ rights to vote in the March 23 elections.

The institute submitted an opinion paper to Deputy Attorney General Raz Nizri which said that the sweeping restrictions on Israeli citizens’ ability to return to the country from overseas are “extremely problematic from a constitutional perspective and are without parallel in the democratic world.”

They noted Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, New Zealand, Russia Sweden and the United States as countries with varied records on battling the coronavirus pandemic and various different restrictions for foreign travelers, but all allowing their own citizens entry into the country.
