(Ha'aretz) Zvi Bar'el- Egypt, Jordan, and Kuwait have become increasingly strict about whom they give citizenship to. In July, the Egyptian Parliament decided that Egyptian mothers who have children whose fathers are not Egyptian will not be able to pass their Egyptian citizenship to their children. Since 1978, when Egyptian culture minister Youssef al-Sibai was assassinated in Cyprus by Palestinian terrorists, Palestinians living in Egypt have had the status of aliens.
