2015-04-09 JERUSALEM: Palestinians living in Jerusalem must secure a return visa, before going abroad
=================================
[via Ha-Makom Israeli news outlet]
B, a successful Palestinian artist, residing in Jerusalem is often invited to present his work abroad. But travel is not that simple...
After 1967, Israel annexed East Jerusalem. However, the Palestinians residing there were not granted Israeli citizenship, only "residence" status in the State of Israel. Therefore, anytime a Palestinian travels abroad, a return visa must be secured in advance. The report here follows B as he goes through the Israeli gov offices in his efforts to secure a visa to return home after a planned travel abroad.
"זה אבא שלי", קרא הילד בבהלה למאבטחים בעברית, "תפתחו!" הוא לא זכה לכל מענה. "הם יפתחו עוד כמה דקות, אל תדאג"
