(A bill that legalises the withholding of the corpses of martyred fighters)

Initiator: Sharren Haskel (Likud)
Bill No. 5118/20/F

Sharren Haskel, MK for Likud, proposed a bill, which practically provides an additional article to the Anti-Terrorism Law. According to the bill, upon the Prime Minister’s approval, the Minister of Security will be vested with the power to decide to not hand over the corpse of a Palestinian combatant, to whom the so-called “terrorism” is imputed by the government of the Israeli occupying authorities. This is so when the organisation, which sent those fighters, detained an Israeli or withheld the corpse of an Israeli. This bill is similar to others.
The bill can possibly be enacted into a law.
