TL;DRA proposal to extend the restriction on the right to run for the Knesset to people convicted of serious terrorism or security offenses, with no time limit from their sentence.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends Section 6 of Basic Law: The Knesset. Under the existing law, a person convicted of a serious terrorism or security offense may not run for the Knesset if less than 14 years have passed since the day they completed their sentence. The proposal abolishes the time condition, so that anyone convicted of these offenses will not be able to run for the Knesset in any case, regardless of how much time has passed since their sentence.
