2 East Jerusalem men to lose their residency status for terror involvement

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri says he will revoke the residency status of two East Jerusalem residents over their involvement in terror attacks.

Deri announces the move after he says he received a green light to do so from Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.

The two East Jerusalem men whose status as permanent residents will be pulled are Azhak Arfa, who is imprisoned for his role in a 2011 bombing attack at a Jerusalem bus stop in which two people were killed, and Munir Rajbi, who was involved in a 2003 suicide bombing on a bus in Haifa that killed 17 people.
