PM considers canceling residency of 80,000 East Jerusalem Palestinians
- 9 years ago
Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu recently raised the possibility of canceling the residency status of the 80,000 Palestinians living in East Jerusalem neighborhoods on the other side of the separation wall.
Netanyahu brought up the need to address the situation in East Jerusalem's neighborhoods beyond the wall during a cabinet meeting that took place two weeks ago.
The prime minister also raised the need to examine how law enforcement and security can be improved in these neighborhoods through the deployment of extra police and army units.
The neighborhoods in question are within Jerusalem's municipal boundaries but lie outside the wall and are considered extremely problematic from a security perspective.
Jerusalem Police erected a concrete wall along a street between the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Armon Hanatziv and Jabal Mukaber in the east of the city last week.
