TL;DRA bill to give a one-time grant of 4 million shekels to every hostage who returned from captivity and to the families of hostages murdered in captivity.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill sets a one-time grant of 4 million shekels to be paid within 30 days of its entry into force: to every hostage released from the attack of October 7, 5784, and to the estate of a hostage who was murdered in captivity and whose body was returned (for the benefit of their family members). For those not yet released or whose body has not yet been returned, the sum will be set aside in a trust account for use upon release or return of the body. The grant will be given automatically without an application, and will not be dependent on other rights or additional grants.
