Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party introduced and the Israeli parliament passed a controversial law that would allow the government to deport first-degree relatives of anyone convicted of terrorism offenses for up to 20 years.
Any family member who knew about a forthcoming act of terrorism and failed to report it to police or supported it and any relatives who posted "praise, sympathy or encouragement for an act of terrorism or a terrorist organization" are at risk of deportation to Gaza or "another destination determined according to the circumstances," the BBC reported.
