The Hamas Movement strongly condemned the Israeli parliament’s final approval of a law allowing the deportation of Palestinian resistance fighters’ family members.
Hamas called the measure an affirmation of Israel’s hostile and racist approach to Palestinian people in all places where they are present.
It added that the law violates the most basic standards of human rights and is an example of collective punishment that violates international humanitarian law.
“We call on the international community and human rights institutions to condemn this law, which violates the most basic standards of human rights and falls within the policy of collective punishment that violates international humanitarian law, and to take measures and procedures that oblige the occupation to retract these unjust laws that degrade human dignity,” Hamas said.
Earlier Thursday, the Israeli parliament gave its final approval to controversial legislation that allows the government to deport the family members of Palestinian resistance fighters, including Palestinian citizens of Israel as well.
