palestinians benefit a lot from being residents of east jerusalem, particularly in health care. palestinian have a much better healthcare in jerusalem as residents of jerusalem than they do in the west bank or in gaza , and even they take benefits a lot from israeli health care system. however, they suffer from certain policies that are there, zation of the city, which in the last 10 years has accelerated a lot, and even names of streets have been changed. israelis speak three languages -- hebrew, english, and arabic. but now the tendency is to only put hebrew and english. stripping houston incident residency rights, this is a very serious problem -- palestinians of their residency rights from this is a very serious problem that makes palestinians insecure and unstable. for public services in palestine -- poor public services in palestine in east jerusalem compared to west jerusalem. there is a big gap between westerners love and east jerusalem. although east jerusalem palestinians comprise 32% of the city population. the percentage is decreasing. 30% of the city budget, yet they
