She is not a citizen. She only has an identity card which are issued to all residents, including noncitizens. She is from Bethlehem in the West Bank so most likely, her card is color coded to mark her as a Palestinian.

She has a blue (Israeli) id card

How do you know this? You just said she was a citizen when she is not. She is from Bethlehem.
3dio t1_ja8npva wrote
You seem to have little knowledge and thus understanding of life in that area. Palestinians (Arabs) can have Israeli citizenship. I'm guessing she has roots or family in Israeli territory or was born there..or thousands of other personal possible circumstance

Yes but she doesn’t. She only has an ID card, not citizenship.

An ID card means she has citizenship.
hellolittlebears t1_ja90j38 wrote
No it doesn’t. ID cards are also issued to non citizen residents.

why continue this useless argument when a simple Google search shows that you're clearly in the wrong

I remeber thinking permanent residency and citizenship are practically the same here, I had a friend in high school who had residency instead of citizenship.
After looking it up, you are correct. They indeed are not the same.

I've read the article where it's written. Or do you mean how do I know blue id is Israeli?

Where is it written in the article?

In the Hebrew version of the article* it explicitly says she has a blue identity card.

Thank you. I wonder why they didn’t just say that she’s a citizen and why they are describing her as Palestinian rather than Arab Israeli?

Probably because she lives in Bethlaham.
