Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law explicitly enshrines the authority of the police to delay the return of the bodies of terrorists. This applies in circumstances where, due to the funeral event of the terrorist, a police district commander has reasonable concern that the terrorist's funeral will cause harm to personal safety or that an act of terrorism will be carried out, or that during the funeral there will be incitement to terrorism or an expression of identification with a terrorist organization or with an act of terrorism. In addition, the Law establishes that a police district commander has the authority, in order to maintain public peace and security, including to prevent disturbances of the peace, prevent incitement to terrorism, or an expression of identification with a terrorist organization or with an act of terrorism, to order, by decree, conditions for holding the funeral of a terrorist. The district commander may also order the deposit of a bond to ensure compliance with the conditions. Under the arrangement established in the Law, the bond will be forfeited if the conditions set by the district commander are not met within 30 days. If a bond was not deposited by the funeral organizers, the organizers will be liable to pay a fine in the amount of the bond. The bond or fine payment will be collected only after the funeral organizers have had the opportunity to present their arguments. It is further established that an appeal regarding the bond mechanism for holding a terrorist's funeral will be brought before the Administrative Affairs Court.
