What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Counter-Terrorism Law by adding Section 24A, which sets a criminal offense: waving the flag of a terrorist organization or publishing its symbol in certain circumstances will carry up to three years in prison or a fine. In addition, the proposal states that such an offense will also be an administrative offense with a fixed administrative fine of NIS 10,000, and for a repeat offense - double the fine. The amendment is set as a temporary provision for a period of four years.
