Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a section to the Israel Land Authority Law requiring the authority to give a 50% priority in land for self-build projects in the periphery to active reservists, and 10% to IDF disabled veterans. Among IDF disabled veterans and reservists, preference will be given to those with families over single people. In addition, in allocating land for housing in the periphery, the authority will make the allocation conditional on fifty percent of the housing units to be built on the land being given priority to reservists in active service.
