Official summary of the law (Knesset)

It is proposed to make several changes to the arrangements concerning the birth and parenthood period. First, it is proposed to extend the birth and parenthood period for which birth allowance is paid from 14 to 15 weeks. In addition, it is proposed to allow a man to take one week of the birth and parenthood period during his partner's birth and parenthood period and concurrently with it, provided that his partner waived payment of the birth allowance for the 15th week of her birth and parenthood period. In addition, it is proposed to determine that a man may replace his wife during the birth and parenthood period for a period of one week or more, in contrast to the situation prior to the enactment of the law, under which a man could replace his partner during the birth and parenthood period for a period of at least three weeks. It is further determined that the man's option to replace his partner during the birth and parenthood period will be available only at the end of her birth and parenthood period, and after she has returned to work.
