Germany's new citizenship reform has come into effect, bringing key changes for non-Germans seeking naturalization. The law aims to simplify the process, allowing those who share German values to obtain a passport more quickly and without giving up their old nationality. New citizens are now required to declare Israel's right to exist, sparking debate over liberal principles and concerns about potential perjury. The reform includes reducing the residency requirement for citizenship from 8 to 5 years and relaxing restrictions on dual citizenship.
