Caring for the City of Sderot |
A new Knesset bill granting the residents of Sderot and the surrounding communities "confrontation line" status passed its first reading on wensday (20.06). The bill, which was proposed by MKs Stas Miseznicov (Israel Beiteinu) and Shai Hermesh (Kadima) would give the Gaza periphery area the same status that was given to the North during the Second Lebanon War. If the bill passes a second and third reading, the residents would receive financial benefits - including employer tax breaks, reduced local taxes, and special grants to small businesses. Residents would also receive loans for purchasing homes in the region, free day care and private tutoring, and professional training courses for adults. "After six years of war and constant suffering, Sderot residents finally will receive recognition for their suffering," said Miseznicov.
