Israel Army allows gay Palestinian to reunite with Israeli lover

Nir Gontaj - Ynet

A 33 year-old gay Palestinian man from Jenin has been granted a residency permit in Israel by the Israel Defence Forces, in order to allow him to reunite with his Israeli partner who lives in Tel Aviv. The permit was issued by Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj.-Gen. Yosef Mishlav.

Several years ago, the Palestinian had filed a request with the Israeli Interior Ministry to receive residency status in Israel that would enable him to live with his lover for the past eight years, a computer engineer in his forties. After he realized that obtaining the permit may take several years, the young man decided to seek the help of the IDF representative in the West Bank. In a letter to Mishlav he noted that ever since his family learned of his gay relationship with an Israeli man, he has been facing an ongoing threat to his life. In an unprecedented move, Mishlav decided to grant the request and issue the Palestinian a permit.

"We have been asking to be reunited for five years," said his Israeli boyfriend Monday. "I'm suffering from a heart disease and need my partner beside me." The young Palestinian himself said that he has been examined by the Security Services. "There's nothing wrong with me. All I want is to be with my boyfriend," he stated.

Dear JFR,

That's good news - as far as it goes but I'm unhappy about the five year delay.

Love,
Anthony

Oh, Anthony. The Israel Ministry of the Interior is a hotbed of bureaucracy: "never do tomorrow what can be delayed for the next 100 years; we have enough red tape to wrap it up almost for ever."

Hugs,
