Romania approves state pension for Holocaust survivors
The Romanian parliament approves benefits for Holocaust survivors, and hears legislation designed to repeal a clause demanding proof of Romanian citizenship to receive the benefits.
Ynet quotes Israel’s Social Equality Minister Gila Gamliel as saying that the cancellation of the clause will go into effect in the near future, paving the way for thousands of survivors in Israel to exercise their right to a Romanian state pension.
