The Knesset Finance Committee on Monday, 13 Elul, addressed the need for temporary passports for the Tishrei Yomim Tovim.

“The temporary passport will be issued free of charge!”

Knesset Finance Committee Chairman MK Moshe Gafni congratulated Interior Minister Aryeh Deri on the regulation and said that this is an important initiative. Those who come to have a biometric passport issued at one of the Interior Ministry offices and bring proof that they will have to fly in the near future will only pay for the biometric passport, and a temporary passport will be issued at no additional cost until the biometric passport is received by mail.
