The Israeli cabinet's approval of the legislation on Sunday evening is a bill to expel Palestinian families from their West Bank residence on the grounds that a member of the family has carried out an armed operation, the latest of the collective punishment that the far-right Jewish home party is trying to pass.

According to the bill submitted by Knesset Member Moti Yogev, the Israeli occupation authorities can expel first-degree relatives to carry out an operation in which an Israeli was killed from their place of residence to another area in the West Bank within seven days. Even if he is not martyred and does not prove his responsibility for it.

Collective punishment
Members of the ministerial committee voted in favor of the bill, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who repeatedly postponed the proposal, fearing a global reaction to Article 49 of the Geneva Convention, which considered the displacement of the protected Palestinian population a grave violation and a war crime.

Israeli Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit expressed his opposition to the bill and said it was illegal. Security agencies did not disclose the project, which the head of the Jewish House Party asked to be rushed to vote in the three readings in order to deter and break the perpetrators of the new operations.

Al-Maqdisi lawyer Mohammed Alian said that the draft law is loose and does not specify how to deal with the Jerusalemites who hold the identity of the blue city and are known as residents of the city, stressing the need to look at it seriously in light of the deteriorating security conditions in the West Bank on the one hand and the Israeli political conditions, Differences between the poles of the government on the other.
