AG says he supports registering same-sex couples as parents

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announces his support for a petition filed to the High Court of Justice demanding that gay fathers be allowed to be registered as parents on their children’s birth certificates.

Mandelblit says denying both fathers to be officially registered as parents “infringes on equal rights.” He also says he rejects Interior Minister Aryeh Deri’s opposition to listing both same-sex partners as parents.
