Etzion DCL

10.40. Only a few cars were in the parking lot. Their passengers were admitted immediately. An elderly man approached us and said that he has a valid work permit, yet he is denied entry by Security. His leg was injured while working in Israel, and he is afraid that his employer had contacted Security so that he would receive a “refused” status, and thus unable to make a claim against him.

After him came a young man who said that the next day he had an appointment at the American consulate. He came to the D.C.O. for a permit to enter Israel, but was denied because he was from the Hebron area. We tried to help him but in spite of all efforts to help him to get his permit here at Etzion, the D.C.O.  remained adamant in its refusal.

A man summoned to Hadassah Hospital for treatment, who brought all the medical documents, was denied a permit because he was “refused” by Security.  We advised him to apply for an appointment in three weeks and if he hasn’t received a permit within 2 weeks, to contact Hanna.

We met a few people who were denied permits by the Police, because they had been caught working in Israel without permits (“We have to earn a living,” they said).  We explained to them how to apply for a cancellation of the refusal.
