Israel approves ‚loyalty‘ law to revoke residency of Jerusalem‘s Palestinians

The Israeli Knesset on Wednesday approved a law that gives the interior ministry the authority to revoke permanent residence permits from Palestinians in Jerusalem on the grounds of a „breach of allegiance.“

The amendment to the „Entry into Israel Law 1952“ will also nullify the Israeli Supreme Court‘s ability to rule against any such decision made by the interior ministry.
