The Israeli Knesset (parliament) approved a law on Monday evening that allows the expulsion of Arab teachers without prior notice, if they sympathize with operations targeting Israelis or with the perpetrators.

The law, introduced by MK Tzvika Fogel of the far-right Jewish Power party, stipulates cutting budgets for Arab educational institutions that sympathize with operations targeting Israelis or their perpetrators.

There is talk that the law, which was approved by the Knesset late Monday evening, includes educational institutions inside Palestine and occupied Jerusalem.

The Knesset said that its plenum approved in second and third readings yesterday, Monday, a proposal to ban the employment of education workers and withdraw budgets from educational institutions due to solidarity with a terrorist act or with a hostile organization, as it put it.

He added in a statement: "The law was supported by 55 members of the Knesset, while 45 others, who attended the voting session out of a total of 120 members of parliament, opposed it."

He pointed out that the law authorizes the Director General of the Ministry of Education to dismiss - administratively and without prior notice - an employee of the education sector who is a government employee who has been convicted of a serious security violation, or who has expressed "solidarity with a terrorist act in public", or who has published a direct call "to carry out a hostile act".

The Knesset added: "The proposal also authorizes the Director General of the Ministry of Education to refuse to grant an employment permit to an education worker in the aforementioned circumstances, all on condition that an investigation is conducted."

It is noteworthy that the Israeli police - which is under the responsibility of the leader of the far-right Jewish Power party, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir - has escalated since the beginning of the war of extermination on Gaza, pursuing Arab students and teachers on the pretext of broadcasting posts on social media networks in support of the Palestinians in the Strip.
