"Sheikh Mohammad Abu Tir, a Hamas member of parliament and a resident of east Jerusalem holding the Israeli nationality, condemned Israel's decision to revoke his citizenship and that of two other Hamas legislators in response to Monday's suicide attack in Tel Aviv which Hamas said was an act of self-defense.

"There are no words to describe this arrogant and strong decision by Israel," Abu Tir said.

He also commented on the attack saying: "Israel and the occupation are responsible. Before the attack, less than two days before, Israel killed 18 Palestinians."

"Speaking to Ynet Abu Tir said he has demanded clarifications and wondered "if it is a decision or just a recommendation." He said he and his friends are studying the decision from a legal viewpoint. "I can't explain how these two, Olmert and Mofaz, whom I don't know from which country they parachuted on us, decide to evict us from our homes after robbing our land," he said in anger."
