Construction and Evacuation of Rehabilitation Areas (Kfar Shalem) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק בינוי ופינוי של אזורי שיקום (כפר שלם)

TL;DRThe law sets compensation rights for evacuees from Kfar Shalem, in two tracks: self-construction or purchase on the open market, with linkage to indices.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill aims to secure rights for residents of Kfar Shalem being evacuated from the compound. An evacuee is entitled to compensation for housing at their choice between two tracks: the 'Build Your Home' track (land rights and a sum of money for construction) and the 'open market' track (a sum of money for purchase). The amounts are linked to the price index and will not be less than amounts set in criteria from 1996. Long-time residents (since 1965) are entitled to additional compensation at a rate of 2% of the total compensation for each year of residence in the compound, and may choose the track more convenient for them. An evacuee is entitled to bequeath their rights and will not be evicted without their rights to compensation being secured.
