Some social media users claimed this was because it would reveal many Israelis were not ethnically Jewish or did not have ancestors from the Middle East .
While Israel imposes significant regulatory restrictions on DNA testing, the claim that DNA tests are outright illegal in Israel is "False".
It is prohibited to market in Israel kits intended for genetic self-examination - in any medical matter, as well as for testing family ties.
Israel 's Ministry of Justice told Ynet that "the fear here is that people will find out that they are b
st
