A bill that would repeal the sections of the Disengagement Law barring Israeli entry and presence in the Gaza Strip will be brought before the Ministerial Committee for Legislation on Sunday, the proponent announced. The initiative, which follows the repeal of the law in northern Samaria, now depends on Justice Minister Yariv Levin's decision on whether to grant it government backing.
The bill to repeal the Gaza Disengagement Law will be discussed by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation on Sunday, according to the announcement from MK Limor Son Har-Melech's office. The legislation would allow Israelis to re-enter the Gaza Strip, reversing the 2005 law that barred Israeli presence there.
The initiative follows a similar move in northern Samaria (the northern West Bank), where the law's applicability was already repealed. The bill's prospects now hinge on Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who must decide whether to give the proposal the government's official backing. If Levin withholds support, the bill is unlikely to advance.
As The Zioneer reported on June 12, MK Son Har-Melech had previously signaled her intent to advance the repeal. The current step represents a formal procedural move in the legislative process.
