Livni helps secure Israeli ID card for daughter of top Palestinian official
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Israel, Ahmed Qureia 

It emerged on Sunday that Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni may have helped the daughter of senior Palestinian peace negotiator Ahmed Qureia obtain a blue identification card, which promises her rights afforded by Israel to very few Palestinians.

The identification cards guarantee national insurance and freedom of movement to Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem.

ureia's daughter Mona is married to an East Jerusalem resident, but under Israel's Family Reunification Law, Palestinians are not automatically eligible for those rights even if they marry an ID cardholder.

Livni and Qureia head Israeli and Palestinian teams that meet every few days in an attempt to negotiate a peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed it had transferred Qureia's request on behalf of his daughter to the Interior Ministry, which then assumed responsibility for the file. The Interior Ministry, for its part, said it authorized the request, as it is the only body that can legally do so.
