Israel Court Bars Residency for Palestinians

Israel Court Bars Residency for Palestinians - Los Angeles Times: "Israel's Supreme Court on Sunday upheld a controversial law that prevents Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from gaining legal residency to join spouses and children who are Israeli citizens. In an unusually close 6-5 decision, justices rejected the petitioners' argument that the measure was illegal because it blocked family unification on the basis of ethnic or national origin."
