Israel moves to void permanent residence of senior Hamas official

Israel has moved to annul the permanent residency given to senior Hamas commander Majed Rajab Assur Juaba, Interior Minister Moshe Arbel announced in a letter sent to the attorney-general on Monday evening.

The decision to void his residency was made following a ministry committee's recommendations on the grounds of a "breach of trust" due to Juaba's public affiliation with the Hamas terrorist group.
