Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes the Foreign Workers Law by redirecting deposit funds that were not withdrawn by foreign workers and infiltrators. Instead of the money being used for the welfare of foreign workers in Israel, it will be transferred to assist Israeli citizens harmed by crimes committed by foreign workers or infiltrators. If there are no such harmed citizens, the money will be allocated to rehabilitating infrastructure in cities with a high proportion of foreign workers and infiltrators, as determined by the Minister of Interior. The bill also repeals an existing section in the law.
