Ahmad Bahar, the deputy speaker of the Palestinian parliament, condemned the “massive ethnic cleansing campaign which the occupation has launched against Jerusalem.” He considered the move a challenge to international principles, norms and laws.
Bahar described a meeting between Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak as "a cover to continue settlements and attacks against the Palestinian people."
Islamic Jihad leader Khaled Al-Batsh urged President Mahmoud Abbas to cease all security coordination and peace talks with Israel as a response to the plan to deport the lawmakers.
