Judgment on an appeal against the decision of the District Court not to instruct the Ministry of Interior to upgrade the status of a Palestinian who is married to a resident of East Jerusalem, and has been living with her in Israel since 1999. The Court accepts the appeal and instructs the upgrade of the man's status to temporary residency, in accordance with the Dufash precedent. The Judges comment generally on the failure to upgrade the status of people who began the graduated procedure before the Government's decision in 2002, and urges the legislator to consider different treatment of these people, due to the passage of time.
