Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents of occupied al-Quds could lose their right to enter the city, according to proposals reportedly made by the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Monday that Netanyahu's proposal targeted some 80,000 Palestinians living in the Shufat refugee camp and the Kafr Aqab neighborhood.

Both areas lie beyond the Zionist separation barrier that runs along the de facto border between the Zionist-occupied West Bank and the rest occupied territories.

This month,  the occupation authorities introduced a number of restrictive security measures -- including stepped-up police searches, checkpoints and roadblocks -- throughout East al-Quds.

The fresh measures come amid an ongoing wave of violence that has left at least 58 Palestinians martyred and scores others injured.

US Secretary of State John Kerry, meanwhile, held talks in Jordan over the weekend with Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in an attempt to ease the tension.

The region has been rocked by frequent clashes since Sep. 13, when the Zionist entity began imposing restrictions on Muslim worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
