Spain Passes Law Granting Dual Citizenship to Sephardic Jews

Spain Passes Law Granting Dual Citizenship to Sephardic Jews

Spain's parliament on Thursday passed a law allowing descendants of Sephardic Jews to gain nationality, more than five centuries after their ancestors were expelled from the country. The law could potentially allow an estimated 3.5 million Sephardic Jews whose families settled in Israel, the United States, Argentina, France and elsewhere to apply for citizenship. They would not have to give up their current nationality to do so.
