Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal states that a court, in the case of a convicted terror offender, must consider issuing an order restricting their place of residence, work and study near the victim of the offense. The court will be able to issue such an order if it is convinced that frequent encounters with the terror offender may cause psychological harm to the victim. The order will set its period of validity and the geographic area in which it will apply. The terrorist operative or the victim of the offense will be able to apply to the court to change the decision on this matter if new facts come to light or the circumstances change.
