Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends three laws, including the Citizenship Law and the Entry into Israel Law. Under the proposal, a person convicted of a terrorism offense or of related serious offenses (under Sections 97-99 of the Penal Law), who was sentenced to actual imprisonment, and who is proven to have received funds from the Palestinian Authority as wages or payment for carrying out the act of terrorism - will be considered as having renounced their citizenship or residency. The Minister of Interior may revoke their status starting from the day the minister sets. A person whose status was revoked will not be released to places that are not in the territories of the Palestinian Authority. There is an option to restore status if the person deposits all the funds paid by the Palestinian Authority into the state treasury.
