Israel prevents exiled Palestinian detainees from reuniting with their families | Human Rights News

Israel has imposed travel restrictions on exiled Palestinian detainees, preventing them from reuniting with their families. The restrictions have left several families separated, including those of Amjad al-Najjar, who was deported to Egypt after his release from prison, and Bushra, whose father was also deported to Egypt last year. The Israeli government has cited security concerns as the reason for these restrictions, but human rights organizations argue that they constitute collective punishment and violate the released prisoners' right to see their families. Israel has prevented at least a hundred Palestinian families from traveling to see their exiled loved ones since 2025.
