Reply to comment by hellolittlebears in Palestinian basketball star makes history joining Israeli Premier League by MijTinmol

You seem to have little knowledge and thus understanding of life in that area. Palestinians (Arabs) can have Israeli citizenship. I'm guessing she has roots or family in Israeli territory or was born there..or thousands of other personal possible circumstance

Yes but she doesn’t. She only has an ID card, not citizenship.

No it doesn’t. ID cards are also issued to non citizen residents.

I remeber thinking permanent residency and citizenship are practically the same here, I had a friend in high school who had residency instead of citizenship.

After looking it up, you are correct. They indeed are not the same.
