Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the 1950 Families of Soldiers Killed in Action (Pensions and Rehabilitation) Law by adding a definition of the term "fiancé/fiancée" within the definition of "family member". According to the amendment, anyone who was the fiancé/fiancée of the fallen soldier on the day of their death, even if they did not live with them, will be entitled to rights and benefits under the law, provided there was a promise of marriage that matured to the level of binding agreement between the parties. The provisions will apply to the fiancé/fiancée for five years from the day of the fallen soldier's death. The Minister of Defense, with the approval of a Knesset committee, may set the means of proof for proving the required conditions.
