Israeli ID card if his wife lives there and they said he would have no problem and I think even his wife said it, he seemed like pragmatic guy, so why ruin your life for some pride (?) over piece of paper?

also what was with the smuggler, why beat her and check get stuff and not just leave her there and go with them, I don't think cars are that cheap, after all he could just all of them throw out and leave with car, they would not fight guy with gun

also didn't understood why the girl in first checkpoint just didn't say all good in Hebrew, it wouldn't look like she speaks Hebrew if she said just two words
