Absorption of Discharged Soldiers Law (Amendment – Living Expenses Grant for Discharged Female Combat Soldiers) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal proposes an amendment to the Discharged Soldiers Absorption Law. It provides that a discharged woman combat soldier who served in a combat role in the IDF will be entitled to a grant equal to 50% of total tuition, intended to help with her living expenses. The grant will be given in equal installments each month during higher education studies. The amendment is justified by the argument that it will help discharged women soldiers who are in distress and will encourage the enlistment of women in combat roles.
