Israel expels, strips citizenship from two Israeli-Arab terrorists who received pay-for-slay stipend from PA
In a first, Israel stripped two terrorists of their Israeli citizenship and ordered to expel them after they received funds from the Palestinian Authority's "pay-for-slay" program, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday.
"This morning I signed an order revoking the citizenship and deporting two Israeli terrorists who carried out stabbing and shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and were rewarded for their heinous acts by the Palestinian Authority," Netanyahu announced.
According to Walla News, the terrorists will be deported to the Gaza Strip. Israeli media reported that they are Mahmoud Ahmad, who was sentenced to 23 years for shooting attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians; and Mohammed Ahmad Hussein al-Halsi, sentenced to 18 years for stabbing several elderly Israeli women,
"I thank Coalition Chairman Ofir Katz for leading the law that will expel them from the State of Israel — and many more like them are on the way," Netanyahu added.
