HCJ 1635/16 - Abu Kaf et al. v. Government of Israel et al. Petition for Order Nisi

HaMoked's petition against the revocation of residency status in Israel of four residents of East Jerusalem who are suspected of committing attacks. HaMoked claims that the Minister of Interior lacks the authority to revoke status on grounds of "breaches of loyalty", and that their status does not require loyalty to the state, unlike citizenship. HaMoked also emphasizes that the four are protected persons due to the special status of East Jerusalem, and are therefore protected from expulsion according to international law. In addition, HaMoked claims that status revocation harms the residents' basic right to status and family life, dignity and freedom of movement.
