as a binding obligation,

Will this baby be able to
claim American citizenship?
This young Yemenite moth-
er holds her baby, Naama, up-

they await their turn to be
processed at Lydda Airport.
The baby was born aboard

the mother from Aden, Yemen.
If the same international

in the air, little Naama may
have the right to claim Ameri-
