AAA 3268/14 - Al-Haq v. Minister of Interior Application to Join as Amicus Curiae
Amicus curiae application by HaMoked and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel to join proceedings in an appeal against the District Court's dismissal of a petition to cancel the Ministry of Interior's decision not to restore an East Jerusalem resident's permanent residency status, revoked because he acquired American citizenship in childhood. The organizations assert that the Awad judgment on status revocation must be revisited in light of all the legal norms applying to East Jerusalem and the changed reality of life there; that the East Jerusalem Palestinians are not only "Israeli residents", but also protected persons under the laws of occupation who are entitled to remain in the occupied territory and return there even after living away for some years.
