The State Prosecution has filed a request to revoke the citizenship of two security prisoners who acted on behalf of the Hamas terrorist organization, according to a report by journalist Toviya Yigelnik. The request invokes the legal clause permitting revocation for those who breached loyalty to the State of Israel.
The State Prosecution has filed a motion to revoke the citizenship of two security prisoners who operated on behalf of Hamas, a step that relies on the legal clause allowing revocation for breach of loyalty to the state. The request was reported by journalist Toviya Yigelnik. The identities of the prisoners have not been disclosed.
The move follows a similar precedent-setting request filed in June against two former Cellcom employees convicted of planning a Hamas cyber attack, though that case involved different individuals and charges. The current request underscores the state's continued use of the citizenship-revocation tool against those deemed to have collaborated with terrorist organizations.
