A bill authored by Deputy Knesset Speaker Limor Son Har-Melech (Otzma Yehudit) that would repeal the sections of the Disengagement Law prohibiting Israeli presence and movement in the Gaza Strip is set for discussion Sunday in the Ministerial Committee for Legislation. The proposal aims to remove the legal prohibition on Jewish entry to the area.
Deputy Knesset Speaker Limor Son Har-Melech (Otzma Yehudit) has advanced a legislative initiative to repeal the sections of Israel's 2005 Disengagement Law that bar Israeli citizens from entering and residing in the Gaza Strip. The bill is scheduled for an initial hearing Sunday before the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, the first procedural step toward a Knesset vote. The proposal directly challenges the legal framework established after the withdrawal from Gaza, which criminalized Israeli presence in the area. No additional details on coalition support or opposition were provided in the initial report.
