Israel's parliament approved a controversial law that permits the deportation of family members of Palestinian attackers, including Israeli citizens, to Gaza or other locations. The legislation, backed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and right-wing allies, passed with a 61-41 vote but is expected to face legal challenges.

The law targets Palestinian citizens of Israel and residents of annexed east Jerusalem who were aware of or expressed support for terrorist acts committed by their relatives. Those found guilty could be deported for 7 to 20 years to Gaza or elsewhere.
