Hamas calls on Israel to repeal law to deport relatives of convicted “terrorists” to Gaza

MADRID 8 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has asked this Thursday the Israeli Administration of Benjamin Netanyahu to take measures to repeal the law to deport relatives of convicted “terrorists” to the Gaza Strip or other destinations, considering that these are laws “unfair that degrade human dignity.”

Likewise, it has called on the international community and Human Rights institutions to condemn this law “which violates the most basic norms” of human rights “and is part of a policy of collective punishment,” according to a statement collected by the Palestinian newspaper ‘Filastín’, linked to the group.

Hamas has stressed that the approval of this norm by the Knesset – the Israeli Parliament – to expel Palestinian families from the occupied territory “under the pretext that one of its members carried out suicide operations” is “a reaffirmation of the approach hostile and racist, and forced displacement” against the Palestinian people.

On the other hand, he has condemned the approval of a law to try and imprison Palestinian children under 14 years of age “as punishment for their resistance and rejection of the occupation”, denouncing that it is a “flagrant violation of international pacts and treaties.” and the UN Conventions on the Rights of Children”. “It is a criminal measure that occurs in the context of the atrocities practiced by the fascist occupation against all segments of our people,” he concluded.

During the day, the Israeli Parliament also approved a law that gives the Ministry of Education the necessary powers to dismiss those teachers who it considers to “support terrorism” and show “compassion” or “solidarity” with acts of this type perpetrated against the country. The legislation will allow the Government to cut funding to schools that show support for attacks against Israeli citizens or targets inside the country.
