Israel Enacts Controversial Law Allowing Deportation of Relatives of Attackers
The Knesset has passed a new law allowing Israel to deport the relatives of individuals accused of terrorist acts, including Israeli citizens. This legislation has sparked significant outrage and raises constitutional concerns, with experts suggesting the law may be challenged in courts. Under the new law, family members of those deemed terrorists could face deportation for up to 20 years. The Israeli government is taking a hard stance against terrorism, extending the measure to relatives of Palestinians accused of attacks, which has drawn criticism from human rights advocates.
