Knesset bill would revoke terrorists' residency
Published: 07/14/2008
A Knesset committee approved a bill that would revoke the Israeli citizenship or residency of people participating in terrorism.
The Knesset Internal Affairs Committee approved the bill, submitted a year ago, permitting the interior minister to revoke citizenship or residency of anyone convicted of being involved in a terrorist organization, involvement in a terrorist activity, espionage or treason. The bill now moves on to the Knesset for its second and third readings.
The bill is similar to several other bills submitted following attacks in Jerusalem including the shooting attack on the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva and a bulldozer attack on Jaffa Road.
