The Knesset approved, in a preliminary hearing, a law that will make the State pay the travel expenses of the families of the IDF's abducted soldiers. The family members regularly travel abroad, in their efforts to have their sons freed.

The law was proposed by MK Yisrael Hason (Yisrael Beiteinu), who was surprised to learn that the families have to pay for their travels abroad out of their own pockets.
