Nope - here's is an AI summary of the 2023 law.

The Key "Exclusionary" Mechanism The Funding Clause: The law authorizes the Interior Minister to revoke citizenship or residency only if the person was convicted of a terror offense and it is proven they (or someone on their behalf) received monetary benefits from the Palestinian Authority in connection with that act.

Practical Effect: Because only Palestinian prisoners/families receive these specific PA stipends, the law does not apply to Jewish citizens who commit acts of terror, even if they are convicted of the same offenses.

ie It's if you are a terrorist and receive money ( like a pension,wage, benefit ) from the PA. It's quite clearly constructed to not include Jewish right-wing terrorist acts.

This was openly discussed, as the intent, in the Knesset when the law was passed.

See: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/12/how-israel-used-dis...

None of this is surprising if you look at what the key political players have said in public - they are openly supremacist.

There is a reason for the ICC,ICJ cases.

Can't reply to post below due to depth - so reply here:

The point is that only terrorism funded by the PA counts - why add the PA funding qualification??? So for example if some settler movement funds people to terrorize Palestinians - it's not covered.

Surely terrorism is terrorism? The PA qualification aim is clear.

That's why all citizens are not equal before the law. It's very clearly specifically designed to favour one set of people over another.

It's quite open - I don't understand why you feel the need to redefine black as white.

Other Western countries have similar laws about revoking citizenship to those who fight for an enemy against their own country (like the UK did with Shamima Begum).

There’s nothing in the law about the race of the perpetrators. That the Palestinian authority only pays Arabs to kill innocent Israelis doesn’t make Israeli law unequal.
