01 · THE DISPATCH

A new episode of Haaretz's daily podcast 'One Day' ('אחד ביום') examines the recent historic change to Israel's statute of limitations for sex offenses committed against minors. The episode explores the implications of the Knesset's passage of the law, which extends the period in which victims can file a complaint until they reach age 48, and until age 49 in cases of familial incest. The law was passed in late June 2026 with cross-party support. As The Zioneer previously reported, the legislation was first advanced in mid-June, clearing the Knesset's joint committee for second and third readings before being approved in a final vote late Monday night. The podcast episode frames the change as a significant legal and social development, offering victims more time to seek justice.
