Does the IPS hold foreign workers that are non-Palestinians? If so – what is their position and where are they?

The IPS is not a partner in making decisions with regards to the policy of deporting foreign workers, but it is merely an assisting element to the execution of the policy determined by the Ministry of Interior and by the Ministry of Labor and Welfare, according to the Entrance Law to Israel, sections 13 A, C, as well as according to the Regulations for Entering Israel (1974) section 22.

According to the sections abovementioned in the law and regulations, and with the expansion of the phenomenon of illegal aliens in Israel, the Minister of Interior has determined, in coordination with the Ministry of Homeland Security, that residents that have been given deportation orders shall be held at the IPS imprisonment facilities.

The foreign workers that are sent to the IPS facilities are defined as detainees and they are held until their deportation (usually about a week to 10 days, however sometimes the process takes a longer period of time).

The IPS is prepared to hold the residents that are to be deported by means of establishing different holding rules than the ones accustomed at the prisons, among others are the ability to hold money, the possibility to meet with representatives from their consulate, maintaining a connection with the representatives of foreign countries and more.
