Ministers fast-track bill banning family visits to Hamas prisoners
The Ministerial Committee for Legislation advances legislation that prevents Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails from receiving family visits.
“The bill will allow me to continue to prevent family visits for Hamas terrorists imprisoned in Israel, as long as this terrorist organization holds the bodies of our soldiers and Israeli citizens without allowing anyone to see them and check in on their status,” says Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan in a statement praising the decision.
