I have seen reports of ideas floated by some Israeli leaders for security measures which might be taken in response to the present crisis in Jerusalem, including revocation of residency. I would repeat first of all my view that, while security measures to prevent violent attacks may be necessary, an attempt to deal with this crisis just through security measures will not succeed, or will at best gain a short respite only for the trouble to quickly re-emerge. Secondly, any response must be consistent with international law, including the prohibition on the forcible transfer of individuals and populations, as provided for in Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
I would be seriously concerned at any attempt to revoke the residency of East Jerusalemites.
