Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Funds Freezing Law of 2018 to add a requirement that the Minister of Defense's report also address the sums the Palestinian Authority transfers to the Gaza Strip. This bill states that a sum equal to one twelfth of the total funds transferred to the Gaza Strip in the previous year will be frozen from the funds transferred to the Palestinian Authority. The funds frozen on the basis of this amendment will be used solely to pay compensation under the Exemplary Damages Law to a person harmed by an act of terrorism originating in the Gaza Strip. The bill also adds a definition of the 'Exemplary Damages Law' of 2024 to the Funds Freezing Law.
