A terrorist wanted to fund her surgery to rehabilitate her nose, which was damaged in a terrorist attack she carried out • MK Waldiger, initiator of the law: "Expensive treatments have already been funded for her, this is a disgrace and an absurdity"


The bill to "deny cosmetic treatment to terrorists" submitted by MK Michal Waldiger (Religious Zionism) is expected to be discussed today in the Ministerial Committee on Legislative Affairs.

Around Waldiger, it is claimed that Ministers Shaked and Saar are evading saying whether they support the law, for fear that it will provoke anger in the RAAM faction.

The bill follows a petition filed by a 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 indictment against her, Jabes took a gas cylinder and rode a train toward Jerusalem on the route Public Transport.

On the way she was stopped by a police officer who asked her to present licenses.

In response, she shouted "Allah Akbar", turned on the gas cylinder tap and ignited the gas.

The balloon exploded, the policeman was hit from the top and in addition he suffered burns to his 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 the IPS transfer a financial commitment to a medical procedure of restoring part of a pastry, in accordance with the recommendation of the Plastic Surgery Clinic at Rambam Hospital.

In his response to the court and to the police attorney 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 performed in the past with IPS funding, including palm treatment.

The publication of the petition provoked a public outcry over the question of whether the State of Israel should provide cosmetic treatments to terrorists.

"Unfortunately and absurdly, the prison service decided to fund her with several surgeries that cost tens and hundreds of thousands of shekels - surgeries that are not part of the health basket, including several surgeries to improve palm function and cosmetic surgery on the nose," says MK Waldiger.
