Left-wing Meretz and Arab Islamist Ra'am are against the legislation, saying it's discriminatory
Israel's cabinet on Sunday approved the Citizenship Law for a vote in the Knesset plenum, drawing ire from the coalition's Meretz and Ra'am parties.
The bill will be brought before the plenum this week, according to The Times of Israel, and aims to deny granting citizenship or residency to Palestinians who marry Israeli citizens.
It was introduced in 2003 at the peak of the Second Intifada and was renewed every year until last July when it failed in the Knesset, due to opposition members attempting to embarrass the coalition.
