The Bill to ‘deny cosmetic treatment to terrorists’ introduced by MP Michal Waldiger (Religious Zionism) is due to be debated in the Cabinet’s Legislative Affairs Committee today.
In the Waldiger region, ministers Shaked and Saar are said to avoid saying whether they support the law, lest it anger the RAAM faction.
The bill follows a petition filed by security prisoner Asraa Jabas, a resident of Jabal Mukaber in Jerusalem, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison after carrying out a terrorist attack in October 2015. According to the act charge against her, Jabes took a gas cylinder and boarded a train bound for Jerusalem on the public transport route. On the way, she was stopped by a policeman who asked her to show permits. In response, she shouted “Allahu Akbar”, turned on the gas cylinder valve and turned on the gas. The balloon exploded, the policeman was hit in the upper body and suffered burns to the face and chest. Jabas was seriously injured in the incident and suffered severe burns to her face, hands and body.

Jabas recently filed a petition with the Supreme Court, demanding that IPS transfer a financial commitment to a medical procedure to restore part of his face, as recommended by the Rambam Hospital Plastic Surgery Clinic. .
In its response to the court and to the police lawyer who was injured in the attack she carried out, the IPS expressed its opposition to the specific procedure, although many treatments have already been approved and done in the past with IPS funding, including treatment of palms. .
The publication of the petition caused a public outcry over whether the State of Israel should provide cosmetic and aesthetic treatments to terrorists. “Unfortunately and absurdly, the prison service has decided to fund him several operations that cost tens and hundreds of thousands of shekels – operations that are not part of the health basket, including several operations to improve palmar function and cosmetic nose surgery,” said MK Waldiger.
