(JNS) Israel’s Cabinet approved a proposal to establish a team that will formulate policy on revoking state pensions and other benefits from the families of terrorists who are residents and citizens of Israel.

The proposal, put forward by Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and Welfare and Social Affairs Minister Meir Cohen, calls families of those who committed security offenses and acts of terrorism to lose state benefits.

Lapid said that “terrorists and their families need to know that there is a price to attacking innocents. It is untenable that the state will continue to pay support payments to the families of terrorists that could have prevented attacks and loss of life.”
