Revocation of Residency Status of East Jerusalem Residents
Further response by the Interior Ministry, following HaMoked's petition under the Freedom of Information Act, seeking to clarify the scope of revocations of East Jerusalemites' residency. The Interior Ministry provides details regarding the number of minors whose residency was revoked between 2005 and 2007, and describes the manner in which it receives information concerning East Jerusalemites' acquired statuses in foreign countries. The Ministry refuses to provide information regarding the reasons for the revocations, claiming that many work days would be required to gather the information.
