A slew of measures force Palestinians out of Jerusalem

Yasir Abu Mghair lives in the Jerusalem suburb of Beit Safafa. His wife of seven years comes from Yabta village near Hebron.

However, since Yasir is an Israeli resident, he cannot visit Yabta without prior planning and, due to an Israeli law passed last summer, his wife who holds a West Bank identity card cannot stay with him in Jerusalem.

As a result, the Abu Mghair family lives incognito, avoiding checkpoints, hospitals and government institutions.

The law is the latest in a series of measures by the Israeli government, aimed at reducing the number of Palestinians living in Jerusalem.
