Israel's parliament has renewed a law that prevents Israeli citizens from extending citizenship or residency to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza. The law was enacted during the Palestinian uprising. Critics think it is a racist measure to maintain the country's Jewish majority. The law does not apply to Jewish settlers in the West Bank because they already have Israeli citizenship. The Knesset did not have the support of the governing coalition to pass the law. The law was supported by the opposition but they did not vote for it to be embarrassing. During the several months when the law was campaigning for its renewal, the interior minister took measures to prevent family unification. She and other officials have acknowledged that it is intended to preserve Israel's Jewish majority. The law passed late Thursday with help from the opposition but without the Meretz and the United Arab List, an Arab party that made history by joining the governing coalition last year. The bill was a victory for a Jewish and democratic state, and a defeat for a state for all its citizens, according to Shaked. Ayman Odeh is an Arab lawmaker. The law mainly affects the Arab minority, which makes up 20% of Israel's population and has close family ties to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. They have citizenship, including the right to vote, and have gained acceptance and influence in a number of spheres, but still face discrimination. At the height of the second intifada, or uprising, in 2003 the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law was enacted as a temporary measure. Proponents said that security vetting alone was insufficient and that Palestinians from the occupied West Bank and Gaza were vulnerable to recruitment by armed groups. After the uprising ended in 2005, the number of attacks plummeted. More than 100,000 Palestinian workers from the West Bank enter Israel on a regular basis. Because of the law, Arab citizens can't bring spouses from the West Bank and Gaza into Israel. Thousands of families are affected by the policy. The law does not apply to the nearly 500,000 Jewish settlers who live in the West Bank, which Israel captured in the 1967 war and which the Palestinians want for their future state. Jews who come to Israel from anywhere in the world are eligible for citizenship under Israel's Law of Return. They have never been right before.
