CRC/C/ISR/CO/2-4 Defence Forces closed down two institutions for children in Hebron without any written instructions and proper alternative plans, evicting 3,192 children and confiscating all clothing, food, stationary and other supplies, as reported by the High Commissioner for Human Rights (A/HRC/8/17, para. 50). 48. The Committee reiterates its recommendation (CRC/C/15/Add.195, para. 41) that the State party further strengthen the foster care system. The Committee also urges the State party to investigate the responsibilities in the closure of the child institutions in Hebron and ensure that human, financial and technical resources are provided for all evicted children to be sheltered and cared for in appropriate conditions. 49. The Committee expresses concern that thousands of Palestinian children are deprived of their right to live and grow up in a family environment with both of their parents or with their siblings and that thousands live under the fear of being separated because of the severe restrictions on family reunification under the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law as amended in 2005 and 2007. The Committee is particularly concerned about the State party’s decision to stop processing residency applications for Palestinian children since 2000 and to revoke the residency status of Palestinians living in East Jerusalem. The Committee notes with deep concern that even children who have lost one of their parents are prevented from reuniting with their surviving parent in the West Bank. 50. The Committee urges the State party to take immediate measures to ensure that all separated Palestinian children are reunited without delay with both of their parents and with their siblings, and that all family members obtain proper registration to avoid any further risk of separation. The State party should revoke the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law and all policies which are in breach of articles 9 and 10 of the Convention and which prevent family reunification, as previously recommended by the Human Rights Committee (CCPR/C/ISR/CO/3, para.15, 2010), the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW/C/ISR/CO/5, para. 25, 2011) and the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in 2012 (CERD/C/ISR/CO/14-16, para. 18). G. Disability, basic health and welfare (arts. 6, 18 (para. 3), 23, 24, 26, 27 (paras. 1-3) of the Convention) Children with disabilities 51. The Committee welcomes the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in September 2012 and the adoption of numerous laws with respect to children with disabilities, in particular the amendment to the Special Education Law No. 5758-1998 and the Rights of Pupils with Learning Disabilities in Secondary Education Facilities Law No. 5768-2008, as well as the measures taken for children with disabilities to receive supplementary tutoring and special psychological and medical services when integrated in regular school. The Committee is however concerned that: (a) The overwhelming majority of children with disabilities attend special schools or special classes in ordinary schools; (b) The placement of a child in regular or special schools depends on parental choice and does not result from a procedure which would allow the child to express him/herself and to have his or her best interests assessed and determined; (c) The resources allocated to the inclusion of children with disabilities in regular schools have been insufficient, especially the number of full time assistants available to support children with disabilities. 12
