RAMALLAH, West Bank — Asmahan Jabali, who lives with her husband in the city of Taybeh, beyond the Green Line, is preparing to apply to the Israeli Ministry of Interior for reunification with her family, allowing her to live with them inside Israel without the need to renew her annual residency permit.
Jabali is from the city of Tubas in the West Bank. She married an Arab-Israeli 26 years ago and they have three children. However, she has lived with her family in Israel in fear that the permit allowing her to reside there wouldn’t be renewed.
