Summary
Amendment No. 163 (2015) to the National Insurance Act stripping child allowances from the parents of a child convicted of charges classified as security offences, which Adalah’s Discriminatory Laws Database presents as discriminating between minors by offence classification, in a Description-only entry (Discriminatory Laws Database, lines 1141-1161).
Details
- The allowances stripped are, under the National Insurance Law, the children’s allowances, although the parents receive the payments (lines 1153-1157).
- Adalah’s account is that the amendment targets Palestinian minors, citizens of Israel or residents of East Jerusalem, who are brought before Israeli civil courts, and that it discriminates between minors convicted of security offences (mainly Palestinians) and minors convicted of other charges, breaching equality (lines 1153-1157).
