JERUSALEM, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he's considering revoking residency status for Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, local media reported.
Israel's Channel 2 reported Sunday Netanyahu proposed withdrawing what is known as the "blue ID card" from about 230,000 Palestinians living in the eastern fringes of Jerusalem, outside the security barrier separating Israel from the West Bank. The revocation of the cards would strip Jerusalem residency from people living in the Shuafat refugee camp and adjacent communities.
