1. There has been a Jewish majority in Jerusalem for several centuries.
2. After Jordan`s conquest and annexation of East Jerusalem, Jewish residents were expelled.
3. Permanent residents receive social and health benefits and can vote in local elections.
4. Jews are not allowed to reside permanently in Jordan no less be a citizen.
5. All residents of E. Jerusalem were offered full Israeli citizenship in 1967.
On the other hand, if someone goes overseas for study of work they should not necessarily lose their permanent resident status, unless they become a permanent resident or citizen of another country.
I don`t believe that you can`t reside unless you have permanent status, you just lose your benefits. Is that true?
