The Israeli Knesset voted Wednesday on the first reading of a bill to expel families of Palestinians allegedly involved in anti-occupation attacks.
According to Israeli media sources the bill was approved by 69 votes with and 38 votes against.
The bill was approved by the Israeli Cabinet ministers on Sunday.
The bill if passed into law would allow the Israeli army’s Central Command to expel families and relatives of Palestinians who had carried out or were involved in attacks or attempted against Israelis of their hometowns to other areas of the West Bank within a week of the attack or attempt.
The bill was approved despite the rejection of both head of the Israeli Shin Bet and the army’s Attorney General.
