Israel Enacts Controversial Law to Deport Terrorists' Families
TL;DR Summary
Israel's Knesset has passed a controversial law allowing the expulsion of family members of terrorists, granting the interior minister authority to deport relatives if they were aware of or supported the terrorist act. The law, passed 61-41, aims to deter terrorism by threatening family consequences, despite concerns from the Shin Bet and legal advisors about potential security tensions and constitutional issues. The law's passage caused a split in opposition voting, with some parties supporting the bill despite earlier pledges to oppose the government.
