החוק קובע ששכרם של סניגורים שימונו או שמונו החל מה-7 באוקטובר 2023 על ידי בית המשפט למי שחשוד, נאשם או הורשע בעבירת ביטחון הקשורה לאירועי ה-7 באוקטובר או במסגרת מלחמת חרבות ברזל, יקוזז מהכספים אותם מעבירה ממשלת ישראל לרשות הפלסטינית.
What was said in the plenum
Supporters saidautoThere is no moral justification for Israeli citizens, including those murdered and abducted in the massacre and their family members, to continue paying out of their own pockets for the legal defense of those who murdered, raped, and massacred them.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoThe bill, as it stands, does not sufficiently address the more fundamental question of the terrorists' status in criminal proceedings, and the entire legal approach toward them should be changed instead of settling for a partial amendment of the funding source.Speakers who made this point: 121 members spoke · 83 reservations
