Freezing of Allowances Paid to a Terrorist Operative and Their Family from the State Treasury Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill grants the Minister of Labor, Welfare and Social Services the authority to order a freeze of any allowance, right to assistance or benefit paid from state funds to a terrorist operative or their family members, if convinced that the Palestinian Authority pays that operative as payment for carrying out an act of terror. The bill sets different rules according to the terrorist operative's family situation: freezing an allowance for a spouse, for parents, or for minor children. In addition, the bill allows payments to resume if it is proven that the money the terrorist operative received was deposited in the state treasury and a commitment was received not to accept further payments from the Palestinian Authority.
