Politicians in Israel are expected to vote on a controversial law that prohibits Palestinians from the West Bank from settling permanently with their spouses from Israel or occupied East Jerusalem.
The law has been renewed every year since 2003.
Across occupied East Jerusalem, thousands of families have been put in limbo by the temporary law that has to be renewed every 12 months.
The question is whether the political shift inside Israel could ease that burden on them.
