Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the definition of "hostile act injury" in the Benefits for Victims of Hostile Acts Law to include injuries from violent acts whose purpose or motive is hatred toward a person because of their belonging to a religious group, their ethnic origin, their sexual orientation, their gender identity or their being a foreign worker. The explanatory notes point to a rise in violent hate phenomena toward defined groups in Israeli society, and argue that these victims need basic assistance because they are groups that are mostly unable to protect themselves.
