Knesset Approves First Reading of Combat Shock Victims Bill Granting Legal Status
The Knesset committee approved the first reading of the "Combat Shock Victims" law, which formally defines the term "combat reaction victim" within disability legislation. This law aims to provide combat shock victims with a unique legal status recognizing the specific nature of their injuries. Under the new legislation, these individuals will receive personalized treatments through the Rehabilitation Department of the Ministry of Defense. Additionally, their rights, compensations, and benefits for both the victims and their families will be expanded. The bill was advanced through a collaborative effort between coalition and opposition members. Committee chairman Ofir Katz described the approval as a "historic justice."
