Far-Right Israeli Gov't Fails to Renew Apartheid "Citizenship Law"
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Israel, the recently formed government of far-right Prime Minister
Naftali Bennett failed to extend an apartheid law that denies
citizenship, and even residency, to Palestinians from the Occupied
Territories that are married to Israelis. The racist law had been
extended every year since it was enacted in 2003. The law failed to pass
after former leader Benjamin Netanyahu's party and his allies voted
against it to undermine the ruling coalition which ousted him last
month.
