Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Legal Aid Law of 1972 to add a section requiring the provision of legal advice and accompaniment to victims of hostile acts as defined in the Benefits for Victims of Hostile Acts Law of 1970. The assistance will be applied in administrative proceedings related to the victim's rights, and also in criminal proceedings against the attacker, even though the victim is not a formal party. The proposal is meant to ease the legal and financial burden on victims and to explain to them the procedures required in order to exercise their rights.
