The ministerial committee for legislation at the Israeli Knesset intends to discuss on Sunday a bill calling for exiling the families of Palestinian attackers from Israel and Jerusalem to other areas.
Israel’s Channel 7 quoted Israeli minister and Knesset member Yisrael Katz (Likud) as saying that the most appropriate response to the latest Jerusalem attack would be the deportation of the perpetrator’s family to Gaza or Syria.
The bill if it becomes a law will give the Israeli ministers of interior affairs and public security the authority to expel Palestinian families who have the right to reside in Israel and Jerusalem to other areas.
The bill needs first approval from the Knesset ministerial committee before it can be voted into a law by Knesset members following three readings.
