Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Victims of Hostile Acts (Pensions) Law (1970) to grant a lifelong monthly payment also to orphans who lost one parent due to hostile acts. The payment will be at a rate of 70% of the regular payment, provided they do not receive double benefits. Currently, the law does not set a payment for orphans of one parent who have reached age 21, nor does it set a payment for those who have reached age 25, which leaves young people without compensation.
