Deportation of Terrorists' Families Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק גירוש משפחות מחבלים

TL;DRA bill allowing the Minister of Interior to deport, outside Israel, family members of a person who carried out an act of terror.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill defines a "terrorist" as a person who carried out an act of terror and received funding from the Palestinian Authority, and a "family member" as relatives up to the first degree (parents, siblings, spouse). The minister may order the deportation of a family member if they knew of the terrorist's plan or expressed support, justification or encouragement for their action. The minister's decision will be given only after a hearing for the respondent.
