Israel uses citizenship revocation-and-expulsion power against convicted attackers
Why it matters
This creates an immediate enforcement precedent for applying denationalization and removal against Israeli citizens convicted of attacks, expanding the state’s punitive toolkit beyond imprisonment. Individuals accused of receiving Palestinian Authority-linked payments now face an added sanction that can permanently remove their right to reside in Israel. The move is likely to trigger legal challenges centered on statelessness and international-law compliance, raising litigation and diplomatic risk around future cases.
