	Adalah: Press Release
		For instance, one of the proposed amendments further strips the Interior Minister of his authority to give temporary permits to stay in Israel, and transfers that power to the military “regional commander." Another of the proposed amendments constitutes discrimination based on age and sex, by setting arbitrary and unreasonable conditions relating to age.
		In this case, the proposed change provides that Palestinians may be prohibited from staying in Israel, not only on the grounds that he or she creates a security risk, but also where, in the “opinion of security officials,” he or she and/or his or her family constitute a security threat to the State of Israel.
		Adalah argued that the proposed amendment effectively negates the presumption of innocence and the principle of individual responsibility, as well as violates the fundamental rights of a person based solely on the individual’s family ties, even in the absence of any relationship with his or her relatives.
