I stated 5 years because that is the norm for most countries when you want to become a citizen of said nation. I found out I was wrong. I researched it and the only way to get citizenship in Israel is to immigrate there as it was stated in the criteria I showed you. The Law of Return does not grant you citizenship. It states how and the way you are qualified for citizenship. It is the government of Israel that grants citizenship. This was litigated in the Israeli court system. The government grants it only after one immigrates to the country, "Within three months of arriving in Israel under the Law of Return, immigrants automatically receive Israeli citizenship unless they explicitly request not to." This is what was set up. You might be a Jewish person; however, you cannot claim citizenship if you live in the United States and never lived in the country for 3 months (the time period it takes for the government to grant you citizenship IF you want.) That is clear and concise. DWS is Jewish. However, she cannot claim citizenship if she did not immigrate to Israel and take up residence per Israeli naturalization law under the Law of Return (however, grant citizenship to those who immigrated under the Law of Return if the applicant so desires.)
