Israel Approves Law Allowing Palestinians to be Stripped of Citizenship and Deported
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's Knesset has passed a law allowing the government to revoke the
citizenship or residency of Palestinians determined to have committed
what Israel calls "acts of terror." The new law exclusively targets
Palestinians in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem, allowing them to be
deported to the occupied West Bank and Gaza. Legal experts say such
deportations would constitute an act of forcible transfer, which is a
war crime.
