Israeli data: Israel revoked residency of over 86,000 Jerusalemites since 1967


OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC) -- Official Israeli data obtained by the Jerusalem center for social and economic rights said Israel has deprived more than 86,000 Jerusalemite Palestinians of their residency rights in the holy city since it occupied the eastern side in 1967.

According to the center, the Israeli interior ministry revoked the residency of 721 Jerusalemites in 2009 and 108 others from the beginning of the current year to the sixth of June.

Based on these data, 14,371 Jerusalemite families composed of about 86,226 individuals have lost their residency permits since 1967.

However, director of the center Ziad Al-Hammouri questioned the validity of the figures and data provided by the interior ministry confirming that the numbers are much higher.
