Israel Hayom Hebrew newspaper reported on Tuesday that the Knesset extended for another year the Israeli citizenship and entry law which bans issuing entry permits under family reunification application.
The chairman of Israel’s Foreign Affairs & Defense Committee Avi Dichter claimed “In light of recent security escalation many of Palestinian families who entered Israel after applying for family reunification were involved in security violations”.
The law extension order was endorsed by the majority of the Knesset as 57 MKs approved the extension and only 16 disapproved.
