Israel to deprive residency and social security rights of an attacker’s family members

Israel to deprive residency and social security rights of an attacker’s family members.

Israel’s security cabinet has announced a wave of measures in response to the attack on a synagogue in occupied East Jerusalem. They include depriving residency and social security rights of an attacker’s family members, making it easier for Israelis to carry guns, and strengthening West Bank settlements.

Also on Weekend: A former NATO general wins the Czech presidential election in contest touted as a clash between populism and liberal democracy; and the journalist and war correspondent Danny Gold travels to Slovakia to meet the man who saved the life of his grandfather in the Holocaust. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Suzanne Lynch, POLITICO’s Chief Brussels Correspondent, and Alexander Gabuev, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
