A new report prepared by fiveLegal Aid and Human Rights organizations in Jerusalem, expressing the risks in pplying the punitive Residency Revocation in Jerusalem. 

East Jerusalem is considered occupied territory under international law following the illegal annexation by the Israeli occupying power in 1967. The Israeli government is implementing policies that ensure Israel’s domination by working to guarantee a Jewish demographic majority through colonization and “silent transfer” of Palestinians. Israel articulated a clear government policy that sought to maintain a demographic balance of 60% Jews to 40% “Arabs” within the Israeli declared boundaries of the Jerusalem municipality - which it unilaterally declared as the unified capital of Israel in 1980. Israel has used a variety of methods to reduce the Palestinian population of the city:

• Revoking residency status of East Jerusalem Palestinians
• Expropriating land and property, denying building permits, and demolishing houses of Palestinian in a systematically discriminatory manner
• Severely restricting family (re)unification and child registration of East Jerusalem Palestinians
• Physically isolating East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank, in part by building the Annexation Wall
