National Health Insurance Law (Amendment – Reduction in Health Insurance Contributions for Residents of the Gaza Envelope and the Confrontation Line) (Temporary Provision – Swords of Iron) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal provides that national health insurance contributions will not be paid for residents of southern communities located within 0 to 7 kilometers of the Gaza Strip, and residents of northern communities located within 0 to 5 kilometers of the Lebanese border. The provision will apply to these residents until one year from the declaration of a special situation on the home front made in Tishrei 5784 (October 7, 2023). This is a temporary provision intended to help residents who were evacuated from their permanent homes during the war.
