Israel Passes Controversial Law to Deport Families of Palestinian Attackers

The law, expected to face legal challenges, allows deportation to Gaza or other locations for up to 20 years.

The Israeli Knesset approved the law with a 61-41 vote, driven by Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud party and far-right allies.
Legal experts predict the law will be struck down by Israeli courts due to potential constitutional and international law violations.
The law targets Palestinian citizens of Israel and East Jerusalem residents linked to attackers, sparking accusations of discrimination.
Critics argue the law constitutes collective punishment and may breach the Fourth Geneva Convention.
A separate law passed allows minors aged 12 to 14 to be sentenced under terrorism laws, raising further human rights concerns.
