Israel’s interior minister, Moshe Arbel, said on Thursday that he had withdrawn the permanent residency status of a Palestinian man in Jerusalem, according to local media.
Arbel said Majed al-Jubeh was part of Hamas and that the decision was taken after examining “security materials” and an interrogation session.
The decision was approved by the attorney general, Gali Baharav Miara, Kan reported.
According to Kan, Israeli authorities are now considering other requests to withdraw residencies from Jerusalem residents.
Since the start of the war on 7 October, three other Palestinians in Jerusalem have had their residencies revoked.
