New Report by Adalah: Over 30 new laws enacted by the Israeli Knesset since 7 October further entrench Apartheid and Jewish Ethno-National Supremacy

Over the past two years, the Israeli Knesset has passed dozens of new laws, the cumulative effect of which is to further entrench and deepen Israel’s regime of apartheid and repression over all Palestinians under its control – both in Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). Adalah’s new report, “Post-7 October: A New Wave of Anti-Palestinian Israeli Laws”, reviews key legislation passed between 7 October 2023 and 27 July 2025. The laws span multiple themes, including freedom of expression, protest, and thought; the right to citizenship and family life; equality and social rights; and the rights of detainees and prisoners. These new laws fundamentally violate the human rights of Palestinians.
