Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends several sections of the National Parks, Nature Reserves, National Sites and Memorial Sites Law of 1998. It replaces Section 40 of the law in order to equate the status of national sites with that of holy places, and to strengthen their protection against desecration and harm. The proposal provides that sites listed in the Second Schedule will be declared national sites automatically, and grants the director of national sites the power to issue an order to stop or prevent harm to a national site. The proposed schedule currently includes Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
