Law to compensate terror victims abroad passes first hurdle
The Knesset has preliminarily approved a bill to recognize Israelis and Jews injured or killed in terror attacks abroad as eligible to compensation from the National Insurance Institute.
The bill proposed by the Yesh Atid party was put forward following the death of an Israeli woman in a Berlin terror attack last month.
The existing law only grants compensation to Israelis or Jews injured or killed in terror attacks in Israel.
