Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested a court to revoke the citizenship of two Palestinian men convicted of terrorism, marking the first application of a law enacted three years ago allowing such actions.

Legal experts have condemned the move as undermining the rule of law and targeting individuals who have served their sentences.
