Bill would allow people over 80 to cut lines

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approves a bill by Social Equality Minister Gila Gamliel (Likud) that would allow Israelis over the age of 80 to skip to the front of any line.

The bill, which now has the government’s support, will be submitted to the Knesset for a preliminary reading.
