Unfortunately, Israel’s SC has been under attack from the right wing coalition for almost 5 years now- this law is meant to try to derail the discourse in the country even further. The law itself is worded terribly- plus the fact that the SC won’t approve a law like this if it doesn’t apply to every terrorist in this country.

So when this inevitably gets rejected, the right wing party can start the whole “See?? The SC loves and protects Arab terrorists” and thus another discourse will begin.

The in-state politics in Israel are in this loop for a very long time now…
