The Knesset on Monday unanimously passed second and third readings of a bill by MK Zevulun Orlev (National Union – NRP) to increase the benefits awarded to those who have lost both parents in terror attacks. The new law closes a loophole in the old statute, which was copied from a law about military orphans and did not take this situation into account.
Orlev said "this law aims to fulfil our moral and human obligations towards children whose parents were both murdered in terror attacks."
