Today, 10 June 2008, the Knesset will vote on the first reading of the Civil Wrongs (Liability of State) Law (Amendment No. 8) – 2008. The bill, promoted by Justice Minister Freedman is aimed at denying residents of the Territories the possibility to file compensation claims against the State even when the damage was incurred irrespective of wartime actions: human rights organizations, including HaMoked, caution that the bill is seeking to revive amendment no. 7 which was unanimously struck down by a panel of nine Supreme Court Justices after it was found to be unconstitutional
