High Court upholds law to revoke citizenship of Israeli terrorists – By Tzvi Joffre (Jerusalem Post) / July 21, 2022
The court decided to cancel the revocation of the citizenship of two terrorists, but ruled the law, in general, is constitutional.
The High Court of Justice ruled on Thursday that the law permitting the revocation of the citizenship of terrorists is constitutional, although it also canceled decisions by former interior ministers to revoke the citizenship of convicted terrorists Alaa Ziad and Mahmoud Mafarja.
Ziad is an Arab-Israeli who ran over and stabbed two soldiers and two civilians, one of whom was 15 years old, at Gan Shmuel near Hadera, and was convicted by the Haifa District Court of four counts of attempted murder.
Mafarja planted a bomb on a bus in Tel Aviv in 2012, wounding 24 people. He was convicted on charges of intent of aiding the enemy, attempted murder and causing serious bodily harm, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
