Minister-without-portfolio Gideon Sa'ar requests Interior Minister Moshe Arbel to grant citizenship to the family of fallen IDF soldier Elishai Young, who died in battle in Gaza. Sa'ar previously implemented a policy granting citizenship to those who completed over 18 months of military service and their immediate family. Young and his family were given permanent residency but not citizenship before his death. Sa'ar argues that the Young family deserves citizenship due to their sacrifice for the country.
