Israel will soon begin revoking the citizenship of and deporting terrorists, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Wednesday.
In a joint statement with Knesset Member Ofir Katz, the defense minister said that four terrorists are already in the advanced stages of the deportation process. Procedures have also been initiated for hundreds of others under existing legal frameworks.
The move comes after a two-year delay in enforcement. Katz said he had ordered the relevant defense bodies to provide the Interior Ministry with the necessary data to revoke citizenship and implement deportations without further delay.
“I promised—and I delivered,” Katz wrote on his Telegram account. “Starting today, the process of revoking the citizenship and deporting Israeli terrorists will begin.”
“Those who choose murder and hatred will be deported, their citizenship will be revoked, and they will pay the full price,” he added. “We will continue to act with an iron fist against terrorism. We will not allow terrorists to sit here in comfort—we will pursue them inside and out.” Donate to vital charities that help protect Israeli citizens and inspire millions around the world to support Israel too!
