Knesset to vote on law to expel families of terrorists

The Knesset will tomorrow vote on a new law that would strip the residency of families for terrorists and expel them from the country.

Cosponsoring party Yesh Atid party says that it has both opposition and coalition support for the law, which it says is needed to deter the so-called lone wolf attackers.

The law calls for “the expulsion of the families of the terrorists outside the borders of Israel if they knew about or, aided the perpetration of the act of terror, or assisted the terrorist after the act.”
