Israel Enacts Controversial Law Targeting Families of Terror Convicts
The Israeli parliament has approved a contentious law permitting the deportation of family members of individuals convicted of terrorism, including Israeli citizens. Proposed by a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party, the law targets first-degree relatives of terrorists, raising concerns from human rights groups over its constitutionality. Critics argue it disproportionately affects Palestinian citizens of Israel, and some Knesset members have suggested it will not apply to Jewish citizens. The law is expected to face legal challenges regarding its enforcement and implications.
