      Knesset to Vote on IDF Widows Law


      The Knesset is set to vote tomorrow on a new law regarding the rights of the widows of IDF soldiers killed in the line of duty. The new law will allow the widows to retain their benefits even if they choose to remarry (which had previously caused an automatic loss of the benefits).

      More than 100 widows will also arrive to meet the Knesset members tomorrow for the deliberations on the law.
