In wake of suspected ramming, coalition MKs demand attackers’ families be stripped of citizenship and deported

Members of the coalition, including senior Likud politicians, are calling for the passage of legislation that would strip relatives of terrorists of their citizenship and deport them from the country, following a suspected truck-ramming attack at a bus stop near the Glilot Base this morning.

More than 30 people were injured in the suspected ramming, which police have said they are still investigating and which was reportedly carried out by an Arab Israeli driver from Qalansawe in central Israel.

Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar and coalition whip Ofir Katz call on lawmakers to vote in favor of the bill in the wake of the attack, with Zohar writing and Katz retweeting a post on X declaring that the legislation “must be supported by both the opposition and coalition.”

Speaking at the scene of the attack, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir states that he will raise the bill in the Knesset on Tuesday and that he “expects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with all Likud lawmakers, to support this law in order to pass it.”

The bill in question is currently being prepared for its second and third readings in the Knesset House Committee. It would grant the interior minister the authority, following a hearing, to order the deportation of a relative of a terrorist who knew of their family member’s plans in advance and either failed to report them or expressed sympathy and encouragement for such a course of action.

Both the Justice Ministry and the Attorney General’s Office have raised concerns about the legislation, which could render people stateless. According to the bill, those being expelled would be sent either to the Gaza Strip or other destinations depending on circumstances.

Transportation Minister Miri Regev has also recently endorsed expelling relatives of citizens who carry out attacks, stating earlier this month in the wake of a shooting in Beersheba that “the time has come for a deterrent punishment that prevents attacks on Israeli territory.”

No no no. All the murders are by Jews killing Jews. Remember? Try to keep on message.

This is terrible, you say Arabs are killing? You've misled me and I don't know where to find the answers.  Maybe laminating a newspaper? Yes that's it.

Yes the girl saw the article about Arabs killing and was horrified. I know you are too. How do you deal with it?

So you never talk sense do you.  And it doesn't matter, does it.

The words are certainly English. They don't actually produce a rational effect.

What absolute Judeophobic nonsense and insanity ... the Israeli Arabs would be first in line to push them out.... they know - and knew long ago - which side their challah is buttered on.
