HCJ 2227/98 - HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual et al. v. Minister of Interior
Petition by HaMoked and other human rights organizations against revocation of residency of residents of East Jerusalem who stayed an extended period of time abroad or across the Green Line (in the Occupied Territories), without intention to remain there and while they maintained their ties with Jerusalem. The state’s policy, called “the quiet transfer,” discriminated on the basis of nationality, was carried out without due process and violated natural justice. Following the petition, the Interior Minister, Natan Sharansky, filed an affidavit with the High Court, indicating a change in the policy.
