Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Citizenship Law and the Entry into Israel Law, and gives the Minister of Interior the authority to revoke the citizenship or residency of a person convicted of a terrorism offense or of other offenses as defined in the law, where it is proven that they received funds or other payment from the Palestinian Authority for carrying out the act of terrorism. The revocation applies only to someone sentenced to actual imprisonment. A person whose residency or citizenship was revoked has the option to get their status back if they prove they returned all the funds they received and commit not to receive additional payments from the Palestinian Authority.
