A petition has been filed with Israel's High Court of Justice, accusing insurance companies of preventing assistance to elderly individuals who are entitled to it, according to reports. The petitioners argue that the companies are blocking access to benefits and services.
The petition, filed Tuesday morning, targets unnamed insurance companies. The petitioners argue that the companies are unlawfully withholding assistance from elderly individuals who meet the criteria. Further details, including the specific companies and the exact assistance in question, have not yet been disclosed. This is the latest in a series of High Court petitions; earlier this summer, residents of frontline communities petitioned over tax benefits (July 3), and Channel 12 News petitioned against the Communications Law (July 23), as The Zioneer reported.
