Has anyone had this experience? Any trouble getting a passport/travel papers at the Ministry of the Interior in Israel? How does one get it in 2-3 days? Can I be detained?

Thanks for any information!
You are not providing enough information. How old were you when you left? Were you subject to military service? Did you serve?

The fact that they refuse to issue you an Israeli passport stateside suggest to me that this situation is serious enough that you need to consult an Israeli attorney.
