The Israeli Ministry of Justice has authorized some regulations that ban people without Israeli IDs or passports of any nationality from filing suits in Israeli courts, local media reported on Monday.

According to the regulations, which take effect Sept. 1, anyone filing a lawsuit in Israeli courts will need to include their ID or passport number on the filed documents.

Legal aid groups said on Monday, however, that the stipulation will make it difficult for foreign migrants and Palestinian residents to file lawsuits.

The Palestinians do not hold Israeli citizenship and most of them do not carry passports issued by the Palestinian National Authority. Also, most migrant workers who arrived illegally from Egypt do not hold a passport.

Jurists and aid groups warned that the regulations will constitute a procedural impediment for thousands of people every year.

Oded Feiler, a lawyer from the Association of Civil Rights in Israel, in a letter to the justice ministry on Monday, charged that the ruling was a breach of fundamental rights that are guaranteed by international conventions.

Humanitarian groups working with migrant workers also warned against the new regulations.

"The approval of these regulations adds to the other means implemented by the Interior Ministry, making life harder for the migrants," a joint coalition of human rights groups said in a joint statement sent to Xinhua.

The ministry said in response that such individual cases will be referred to a registrar or judge for reconsideration.

In parallel, in recent months, the Interior Ministry submitted legislation making it harder for African migrant workers to stay in Israel.

One of the bills introduced last month forbids immigrants from wiring money to their families abroad, while another allows migrants to appeal their deportation only after their expulsion.

Nearly 1,000 African migrants were detained in June and nearly 800 asylum seekers were repatriated to South Sudan and Cote d' Ivoire, according to the Population and Border Authority.
