Official summary of the law (Knesset)

An amendment to the law was established as a temporary provision for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years, providing priority eligibility for dormitory housing to a student or candidate who served in the "Iron Swords" war as a combat soldier in regular service for an extended period or as a reserve combat soldier for at least 30 days, or who was wounded and therefore did not complete the period, as well as to anyone evacuated due to the war who was evacuated half a year before the start of the academic year, and to released hostages and the families of hostages and the missing. The priority will be given through two tracks: in the first, the institution will grant points to such a candidate or student for the purpose of determining dormitory eligibility, taking into account additional considerations such as socio-economic status; in the second, the institution will allocate 25-30% of all dormitory places to such students and candidates. The exact percentage will be determined by the institution according to its characteristics. The arrangement will apply to those who served as described or were evacuated during the period from 7 October 2023 until 3 months from the law's commencement; the Minister of Education, in consultation with the Council for Higher Education and with the approval of the Education Committee, may extend the period for two additional periods of up to 6 months each, due to the continuation of the war. Dormitory eligibility determined before the law's commencement will not be revoked.
