Knesset Bill Halts Government Benefits to Freed Terrorists

Terrorists who are Israeli citizens and are freed before their terms end as part of political deals will not be allowed to collect assistance from the National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) to help them readjust, if the Knesset passes into law a bill sponsored by Liked-Beiteinu Knesset Member Yariv Levin.

The proposed legislation would not stop Palestinian Authority payments to its terrorists, who receive a handsome salary for each month they are in jail.
