The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, has passed a controversial law that allows the deportation of family members of Palestinians involved in attacks against Israelis, including Israeli citizens.
The new law, presented by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, was passed on Thursday, November 7, with 61 votes in favour and 41 against.
According to The Times of Israel, the interior minister can expel a first-degree relative of someone who carried out an attack if they have prior knowledge of an attack or support for an attack against Israelis.
