At the request of the bereaved parents:
The Constitution Committee approved today (Tuesday) that in the appendix to the identity card of bereaved parents, a "space" will be uniformly registered for their child who was killed in the Israeli systems or in an act of hostility.
Ivy Mozes, chairman of the Organization of Victims of Hostilities, who lost his wife and son in the attack, said: “We are 4,500 families who have lost loved ones, 16,000 disabled people, 104 orphans from two parents, there is nowhere to go.
They did not perish, they were murdered, 100% dead. "

The committee's chairman, MK Gilad Karib, said after the approval: "We have a right to help with important public recognition; we express here not only recognition of family feelings but also a statement by the Israeli public about the rupture in the fabric of Israeli life, It is certain that the next time we are required to address these issues, from the outset the thought will be one that includes both types of the bereaved family. "
The Minister of the Interior, Ayelet Shaked, appealed to the committee to approve the regulations, stating: In their hands will be written next to the name of the child who died - 'Space of the Israeli Systems' or 'Perished in Hostilities', respectively.

"After the amendment, inquiries were received from organizations accompanying the victims of hostilities, in which it was claimed that the difference in the wording of the definition of 'space' in relation to those who fell in Israeli systems compared to 'perished' in relation to those who fell in hostilities, hurt the bereaved families' feelings. "And to facilitate them as much as possible, my request is to amend the regulations again so that the definitions will be the same and the term 'space' will be used in relation to those killed in Israeli systems and in relation to those killed in hostilities."
