Israel Enacts Controversial Law to Deport Relatives of Terror Convicts

The Israeli parliament has approved a contentious law permitting the deportation of family members of individuals convicted of terrorism offenses, which includes some Israeli citizens. Proposed by a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, the legislation targets first-degree relatives, such as parents and siblings, of those who either committed or supported acts of terrorism. Critics, including human rights groups and opposition members, argue that the law disproportionately affects Palestinian citizens of Israel and raises constitutional concerns. The enforcement of this law is expected to face legal challenges in the future.
