Israel Land Authority Law (Amendment – Preference for Reservists in Purchasing Land in the Periphery) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק רשות מקרקעי ישראל (תיקון - העדפת רכישת קרקע בפריפריה לחיילי מילואים)

TL;DRThe proposal grants priority to active reservists and IDF disabled veterans in purchasing land in the periphery for construction and housing.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Israel Land Authority Law by adding a new section requiring the Authority to give preference to active reservists in allocating land for self-build purposes in the periphery (up to 70% of the land marketed). Within this, increased priority will be given to soldiers with families over single people. In addition, 10% of the land in the periphery will be dedicated to IDF disabled veterans. In allocating land for housing in the periphery, the Authority will condition winning a tender on a requirement that at least 50% of the housing units be dedicated to reservists in active service.
