Bill barring unsolicited telemarketing calls clears first hurdle
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA bill barring telemarketers from making unsolicited phone calls has cleared its first legislative hurdle after receiving a green light from government ministers.
Having received the Ministerial Committee for Legislation’s approval, the bill must now clear three Knesset plenum votes before coming law.
Under the legislation, telemarketers would be forbidden from calling Israelis registered for a “don’t call me” database, with violators receiving a fine of NIS 66,000 per offending call, according to Channel 10 news.
