Against the background of the proliferation of cases of violence in hospitals, a bill seeks to define a security guard in a medical institution as a preferred job for discharged soldiers.
The bill, submitted by MK Ophir Akunis (Likud), is intended to encourage the employment of veterans of combat units as security guards in hospitals, especially in light of the increase in cases of violence within their walls and in their surroundings.
Today, discharged soldiers can apply for preferred work at gas stations, hotels, metalwork, tailoring and sewing, in construction, agriculture and more.
A grant for completing a preferred job currently stands at NIS 9,722 for a period of six full working months within 24 months.

MK Akunis told Israel Today that "the effects of physical and verbal violence in the medical complexes are a strategic danger to Israeli society as a whole.
Hospital security systems have long suffered from a shortage of experienced and professional security guards.
One of the ways to encourage the employment of veterans of combat units as security guards in hospitals is to amend the law and see this occupation as a preferred job through a financial incentive. "
