Israel's Supreme Court Defines Citizenship
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - The Supreme Court on Sunday upheld Israel's right to determine who enters and may reside in it. Deputy Chief Justice Mishael Cheshin argued that "Israel isn't obliged to open its gates to citizens of an enemy state, with which it is engaged in armed conflict." Cheshin maintains that Hamas' ascendancy to power has turned the PA into a full-fledged enemy. Certainly under such circumstances, schemes for family reunification, whereby Israeli Arabs can bring in Palestinian spouses, "run counter to the common sense of self-preservation."
