A draft measure that would grant post-natal paternity leave rights to men was approved by the cabinet Sunday at its weekly meeting.
The proposal by Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Eli Yishai (Shas) will go to the ministerial committee to be refined before presentation to the Knesset.
If passed, the bill would allow a man to replace his wife six weeks after birth to care for a new baby at home.
