The Israeli ministerial committee for legislation on Sunday gave the Knesset its approval to discuss a bill allowing the security authorities to detain bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire.
The Knesset will table the bill for a vote in its first reading during the current week according to the Hebrew media.
Israel’s intent to enact such legislation came after the higher court of justice issued a verdict last December banning the government from detaining the bodies of slain Palestinians unless there was a law allowing this.
