Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Israel Antiquities Authority Law (5749-1989) so that the Antiquities Authority will be responsible for handling antiquities in the territories of Judea and Samaria, similarly to its powers in Israel. The amendment changes definitions in the law and extends its application to include the "Area" (as defined in the Emergency Regulations in Judea and Samaria). The proposal provides that removing an antiquity from these territories will require approval, as with removing it from Israel.
