In a report released today, the Jerusalem Centre for Social and Economic Rights highlighted that their legal department had recently received complaints from residents of these districts stating that when they went to the occupation's municipality in Jerusalem to obtain the 2011 list of Arnona tax fees, they were informed that they were no longer required to pay the tax and as such their request was refused by municipal officials ... The Jerusalem Centre has warned that this could be the preliminary step toward political procedures disclosed over a year ago by Yair Segev, a high-ranking official within the occupation's municipality in Jerusalem. He announced the municipality's intention to get rid of tens of thousands of Jerusalemites in districts cut off by the Wall such that the municipality would no longer have any need to continue to exercise its powers there meaning that it would definitively end its provision of public services to the residents of these districts.
