Israeli Knesset passes law allowing deportation of family members of attackers

Date:

The Israeli Knesset has passed a law permitting the deportation of family members of individuals who commit “terrorist” attacks. Under the new legislation, relatives can be expelled to the Gaza Strip or other locations if they are found to have had prior knowledge of an attack or expressed support for the act. While supporters argue the measure serves as a necessary deterrent to enhance national security, human rights organizations and legal critics contend that it constitutes illegal collective punishment and will be applied almost exclusively to the Palestinian population.

  • The law allows for the deportation of relatives for a period ranging from seven to twenty years.
  • Expulsion can be triggered if a family member “knew in advance” of an attack or expressed “support or identification” with the act.
  • The legislation applies to both Israeli citizens and permanent residents.
  • Critics argue that the law violates international legal standards by punishing individuals for crimes they did not personally commit.
  • Legal experts expect the law to face immediate challenges in Israel’s Supreme Court due to concerns over constitutional rights.

  1. Palestinians face summary execution just for walking out their front door. All this does is ease the legal burden, presumably they'll stop pretending to investigate these executions soon.

  2. This is "human rights" western financed and promoted style—Afrikan countries are sanctioned for just saying lgbtzvx is not our priority; but here we are one of the 2 countries and 1 something that voted for slavery, now also has given itself an extermination pretext of the slaves…

  3. This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Israel only commits crimes of war and crimes against humanity!!! Palestinians deserve a fair due process!!! Israel is only about killing as many Palestinians as possible and stealing more and more land, this is INHUMANE!!!

  4. Look how smartly DW not mentioned the fact that this law was only passed for Palestinians of the West Bank not for anyone else. What a sick society they are, western countries are also culprit they maintain full relationship with Israel and provide various aid packages every year even after knowing the brutalities Palestinians are facing.

  5. This allows the death penalty to be applied to people who have never been charged with anything simply because the detention facilities lack room for more hostages. Supporting this is literally Supporting the creation of deathcamps to remove the "problem" of a semetic population.
