Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Prevention of Infiltration (Offenses and Jurisdiction) Law (temporary provision), 2017, was passed by the Knesset on 11 December 2017. The Law provides that the validity of existing arrangements shall be extended, such as the limited detention period for "new" infiltrators, the open residency facility in Holot, the prohibition on expenditure of funds by and on behalf of an infiltrator, and the increased penalties and enforcement against employers of infiltrators, for a period of three years. However, the validity of Chapter D of the Law, concerning the Holot residency facility, was extended for a period of three months only, since the State is working to amend the existing agreement with the third country to which infiltrators are deported. In addition, the validity period of the prohibition on the removal of an infiltrator's property was extended by one year. Finally, the Law provides that the authority to order the transfer of an infiltrator to detention shall apply to any infiltrator who violated the geographic restrictions set in his license, and that the increased criminal penalties against employers of infiltrators shall also apply to anyone employing an infiltrator holding a temporary visitor's residency permit who works in violation of the geographic restriction set in his residency permit.
