The bill proposed by Member of Knesset (MK) Oded Forer
of the Yisrael Beytenu party prohibits the denial of the events of October 7.
According to the proposal, individuals who publish, either in writing or
orally, statements that deny or downplay these events, or express praise,
sympathy, or identification with that day, will face a five-year prison
sentence.
Additionally, the bills, initiated by MK Almog Cohen of
the Otzama Yehudit party, MK Forer, and MK Moshe Passal of the Likud party,
also include provisions for the deportation of families of Hamas members, as
well as compensation for ZAKA volunteers.

members, deportation will only be enforced if it is proven that the relatives
had prior knowledge of the events of October 7, expressed support for them, or
issued statements of praise, sympathy, or encouragement.
