The Deportation Law In the Knesset Today
The bill states that if the Minister of the Interior was under the impression that a family member of a terrorist knew in advance of his plan to commit an act of terrorism and did not make all the necessary efforts to prevent it, he is entitled to order the deportation of that family member to Gaza, or to another deportation destination that he determines according to the circumstances.
The Knesset the second and third readings of the law by a vote of 61-41.
