TL;DR Summary

The Israeli parliament has passed a controversial law allowing the deportation of family members of individuals convicted of terrorism, including Israeli citizens. The law, criticized as unconstitutional by human rights groups, targets first-degree relatives who either supported or failed to report terrorist activities. Critics argue it disproportionately affects Palestinian citizens of Israel, as it is unlikely to be applied to Jewish Israelis. The law faces potential legal challenges and could be struck down by the Supreme Court. Deportees would retain citizenship but face long-term bans from returning to Israel.
