Not quite a correct statement.

DNA testing is legal and widely used in modern Israel for medical, scientific, forensic, and immigration purposes. However, it is heavily regulated under the Genetic Information Law of 2000, meaning certain tests—such as paternity or relationship testing for legal use—require a specific court order, and direct-to-consumer commercial ancestry kits face strict limitations.Permitted and Common UsesMedical Screening: Prenatal and pre-marital genetic screenings for hereditary diseases are fully allowed and common.Immigration & Paternity: DNA testing is routinely used and sometimes requested by the government to establish family ties for citizenship or immigration under the Law of Return.Legal and Forensics: Criminal investigations and court-ordered family relation (paternity) proceedings utilize DNA testing through accredited state laboratories.Key RestrictionsNo Over-the-Counter Legal Tests: Private, direct-to-consumer genetic kits or results from unauthorized private labs are not legally recognized or admissible as evidence in Israeli family or religious courts.Privacy and Court Authorization: Testing to determine biological lineage/paternity requires explicit approval from a family court to protect individual privacy and minor welfare
