The Knesset approved the second and third readings of the proposed law to expel the families of terrorists during the early hours of Thursday morning, Israeli media reported.

61 Knesset members reportedly supported the proposal, and 41 opposed it. The law grants the interior minister authority, following a hearing, to order the deportation of a terrorist’s family member—such as a father, mother, sibling, child, spouse, or common-law partner—to Gaza or another location.
