Chairman Yoav Kish of the Knesset House Committee, wants to fix it that anyone who is not an Israeli citizen (or is not in the process of obtaining or receiving Israeli citizenship) and submits petitions to the Supreme Court will be forced to pay more than ten times as much as an Israeli citizen.
Today, the fee for a petition to the High Court is 1,794 shekels. It is proposed that the fee for a non-Israeli be NIS 18,000. The Likud lawmaker explains "The current situation harms the efficiency of the courts and the citizens of Israel, and delays legal proceedings, so in cases where a person is not an Israeli citizen, the economic threshold must be raised in order to prove the seriousness of the petition and its importance to the petitioner and the public."
