Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends Section 24 of the Counter-Terrorism Law in two respects: first, easing the probability threshold in the offense of incitement to terrorism – from a 'real possibility' to a 'reasonable possibility' that the publication will lead to an act of terrorism being carried out. Second, adding a new offense for publishing words of praise, sympathy, support or identification with someone who carried out an act of terrorism that caused a person's death, with a penalty of up to three years in prison, without a requirement to prove a connection to an act of terrorism actually being carried out but with a requirement to prove the aim of identification. The proposal affects the definition of criminal offenses in the field of counter-terrorism.
