Basic Law: The Judiciary (Amendment – Denial of Standing to Anyone Who Rewards Terrorism) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק יסוד: השפיטה (תיקון - שלילת זכות עמידה למתגמל טרור)

TL;DRThe proposal prevents 'terror rewarders' and organizations supporting them from petitioning the High Court of Justice against legal decisions regarding compensation for terror victims.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends Basic Law: The Judiciary by adding a section restricting standing before the High Court of Justice. A terror rewarder is defined as anyone who transfers funds for the benefit of the perpetrator of an act of terrorism or for the benefit of someone on their behalf, and this definition also applies to incorporated and unincorporated organizations, the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Under the proposal, these bodies and anyone on their behalf will not be able to file a petition to the High Court of Justice in matters concerning the Compensation for Terror Victims Law.
