Israel's parliament has adopted two controversial laws.

One allows the government to expel the family members of Israeli citizens involved in attacks.

They would be expelled to the Gaza Strip or another location for up to 20 years.

On Tuesday, the parliament also passed a law allowing Palestinian-Israeli teachers to be sacked if they show support for attacks against Israelis.

Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh has more from Jordan's capital, Amman, because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting in the occupied West Bank and from inside Israel.
