The appeal was sent by the government after a verdict last year stated the 1976 article of citizenship law should be implemented.
That law requires the stripping of citizenship of those who married Israelis who have served in the army or embraced Zionism.
It is apparently considered "spying".
I honestly don't see a problem with the ruling if there is such a law. The law has to be overturned, since it is stupid and intolerant, but the ruling that the law should be followed is not in itself a stupid thing.
Now, everyone will blame each other for a while, and in a few months the law will be changed. IT is probably true that they'll delay the changing of said law a bit longer due to the recent circumstances, but they will not allow it to stand...

There's a difference between not being able to marry in Israel, and not having it recognized.
