The attacks on consecutive days prompted the Israeli government to take action against what it says are the families of the terrorists.
Israel announced Saturday night measures against “families of terrorists” after two attacks in East Jerusalem, one of which killed seven. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised a “strong” and “robust” response to these attacks by two Palestinians in East Jerusalem, part of the Holy City occupied and annexed by Israel.
The Israeli security cabinet announced the revocation of social security rights of “terrorist families” who support terrorism. And that, on Monday, in the council of ministers, A bill was discussed to revoke the “Israeli identity cards” of these families.
Netanyahu returned to power in December with the support of far-right and ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups, and these measures are likely to apply primarily to Israeli Arabs, Palestinian Israeli nationals, and Palestinians with East Jerusalem resident status.
