Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Permanent Service in the Army Law and the State Service (Pensions) Law to abolish the deduction from survivors' allowances. Under the bill, the survivors of a soldier or security employee who died during their service and are entitled to compensation under the Soldiers' Families Law or under the Victims of Hostile Acts (Pensions) Law will receive the full compensation under these laws and also the full survivors' allowance under the pensions laws, without offsets or deductions. The reasoning of the bill states that these are two separate systems of rights with different purposes, and this should be seen as an expression of the state's morality toward families who sacrificed their loved ones.
