For the first time in its history, an Israeli judge has ordered that a Jewish criminal be deported to an Arab country. The deportation of Avraham Salem Alhadad, has been ordered deported back to his native Yemen in a precedent-setting ruling.
The news was originally reported in the Makor Rishon daily on Friday that Alhadad, a Jewish man, married and father of one, was ordered to be deported after his student visa which was obtained in 2007, expired while he was in prison.
Alhadad served a 5 1/2-year prison term handed down in 2014 for assaulting a minor from his own family. Alhadad is a former yeshiva student who studied in Bnei Brak and was declared to be an illegal alien upon his release this year.
Alhadad applied to be naturalized under Israel’s Law of Return for Jews and their relatives. His application was denied due to his criminal record. He then applied for asylum and this too was denied. He claimed that his leaving Yemen in 2007 for the Jewish state would expose him to persecution should he be forced to return there. The claim was also dismissed.
The Interior Ministry, which was seeking Alhadad’s deportation to Yemen, has been ordered by a judge to detail how it intends to deport the convicted felon to a country with which Israel has no diplomatic relations.
Alhadad is currently being held at the Givon detainment facility for those staying in Israel illegally.

Former yeshiva student.
Why it that so significant ro this story.?
HE ASSAULTED A MINOR for crying out loud!
Which part of it dont you get.
Sounds like de Blasio type of rule! Maybe Cuomo!
So weird!
Just keep him in prison indefinitely!
Do not send him to Yemen.
Your opini, how about the fact that he is a Jew, and there is NO HETER for deporting him from Eretz Yisroel in the first place, let alone to a country where he will be in danger. Eretz Yisroel belongs to him just as much as it does to any of us; it does NOT belong to the Israeli government or courts. And sending him to Yemen is outright mesirah, no matter what he did.
It is actualy a trump rule- deport all the assaulters and murderers.
This is totally disgusting. It is the judge that needs to be deported. Giving over a Jew to Goyim is so serious that the person doing so loses his Olam Haba. If this person is still violent, then he must be confined and treated. Sending him to be murdered by Goyim is unacceptable.
“Sounds like de Blasio type of rule! Maybe Cuomo!”
More like Trump. Yemen is no place for a Jew, even a criminal Jew. This is essentially giving him a death sentence.
So many of those who comment on YWN seem to think that the State of Israel is a Jewish country. It is not. Its laws are not governed by halacha. Israel is a secular state. Wake up and smell the coffee. Living i Eretz Yisroel is a great mitzvah; living in the secular state of Israel is not.
It’s rare that I agree with charliehall but he’s right: this is a death sentence. Can President Rivlin vacate the ruling or at least commute the sentence?
Maybe being kind to this guy is midas zdoym?
Guys there’s more to the story no doubt. Stop jumping to conclusions
As pointed out in other sites, there is something inconsistent when the courts block the deportations of others who overstayed their visa, or even came illegally, to Philippines or Eritrea or Sudan etc.
Umm… There’s a bit more to the story.
Here is the article from Makor Rishon:

And here is what he did:
בשנת 2014 הודה והורשע בעבירות מין חמורות כלפי קטין במשפחה, וזאת באיומים ותוך גרימת חבלות
perhaps malka leifer can accompany him.
Goyim! Trump! Shmad! Bagels! Cholent!
Stop yelling, and go take out the trash or something.
