Israel’s parliament has adopted two new controversial laws.
One law allows for the deportation of citizens of Israel of Palestinian descent who happen to be family members of people who have attacked Israel or had planned to attack Israel.
They would be deported if they were deemed to have had prior knowledge or if they had expressed sympathy with the act or with so-called terrorist organisations.
The other law targets Palestinian schools in occupied East Jerusalem, which Israel has annexed illegally, as well as schools inside Israel proper, run by Palestinian citizens of Israel.
Al Jazeera's Mohamed Vall is following this story from Amman, because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting in the occupied West Bank and from inside Israel. He explains how these new laws will impact Palestinian-Israeli citizens.
Sawsan Zaher, a Palestinian human rights lawyer, told Al Jazeera that the two laws recently approved by the Knesset are “a dream come true for the right-wing coalition in the government.”
