TEHRAN, March 16 -Parties in the Knesset have reached an agreement on the terms of an apartheid bill which would define Israel as exclusively for Jews and makes it easier for the Tel Aviv regime to push ahead with its land grab policies as well as the plans to change the demographics of occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.
TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Parties in the Knesset have reached an agreement on the terms of an apartheid bill which would define Israel as exclusively for Jews and makes it easier for the Tel Aviv regime to push ahead with its land grab policies as well as the plans to change the demographics of occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.
According to a report by Al Jazeera on Thursday, Israeli lawmakers have endorsed the controversial draft law for first reading.
The proposed “Basic Law” was approved by the Israeli parliament’s justice committee this week, and is now expected to be fast-tracked in the legislature and on to the statute books in the coming weeks.
Amir Ohana, the committee’s chair, called it the “law of all laws,” while a cabinet minister termed it “Zionism’s flagship bill.”
The law, which is a redraft of an original bill in 2011, would exclude almost everyone other than the Jews from the right to governance in the entire occupied Palestinian territories. It demotes the status of the Arabic language and leaves Hebrew as the only official language of Israel.
The measure also enables the regime consolidate its illegal hold on East Jerusalem al-Quds and the occupied West Bank as it could introduce legislation based on the “Basic Law,” which allows annexation of more territories from the West Bank to Jerusalem al-Quds and to strip tens of thousands of Palestinians of their residency rights in the city.
