MK Nurit Koren (Likud) has proposed a new bill to the Knesset, calling for a system to allow people to send text messages to emergency services, including the police and MDA.
MK Koren hopes that such a move would allow people to quickly receive help, without the need to go through an operator.
The proposal is still in the early stages, and must first go through the Ministerial Committee for Legislation.
