Palestine: Israel ‘may remove’ Arabs’ citizenship
Netanyahu orders review of East Jerusalem communities’ status

ISRAEL threatened yesterday to strip many Jerusalem Palestinians of their Israeli citizenship in a new escalation of the current unrest.

Roughly one-third of the city’s Palestinian population, about 100,000 people, live outside the barrier.
