Question about East Jerusalem

Submitted by William (United States), Jun 14, 2017 at 11:43

I learned a few things from this statement such as the offer of citizenship to Jerusalem's Palestinian population. I need clarification about current Jewish and Palestinian demography in East Jerusalem. The author states "these led to a long-term demographic and housing competition that Palestinians are winning, jeopardizing the Jewish nature of the Jews' historic capital."

I thought that there is now housing for tens of thousands of Israelis in East Jerusalem. Are the Palestinians really winning the housing competition?
