The Attorney General opposes the bill proposed by MK Limor Sun Har Melech, which is intended to allow the expulsion of terror-supporting students from educational institutions and the dismantling of terror-supporting cells within the institution. In an opinion submitted to Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who also chairs the Ministerial Committee on Legislation, where the bill is supposed to be raised on Sunday, it was written that "the bill raises real constitutional difficulties that amount to a constitutional impediment, and therefore it is proposed to oppose it."
The proposal is intended to stipulate that within the confines of an institution of higher education, expressions of support for an armed struggle by an enemy state or a terrorist organization, expression of support for a terrorist organization, an act of terrorism, or the raising of the flag of an enemy state, a terrorist organization or the Palestinian Authority will not be permitted. A student who violates one of these prohibitions will be suspended by the institution for a period of not less than 30 days, and if he commits a repeat offense, he will be permanently expelled from studies and his eligibility for a degree will be revoked for five years.

In addition, it is proposed that an institution be entitled to prevent the existence and activity of a student cell that violates one of the aforementioned prohibitions. It is proposed to impose on such an institution the immediate and permanent expulsion of a student who belongs to a terrorist organization or has been convicted of a terrorist offense, and to revoke his eligibility for a degree from an Israeli institution for a period of 10 years, and if he has a degree from abroad, recognition of the degree for that period will be revoked. According to the proposal, no candidate or student will be convicted of a disciplinary offense until he has been given an opportunity to make his case, and will not be expelled from studies unless he has been given an opportunity to make his case.
The legal counsel's position stated that "the current bill proposes arrangements that embody a violation of freedom of expression and protest, and even freedom of occupation." It also said that the arrangements in the bill "can lead to the prevention of higher education even in contexts that are not at all connected to terrorism."
