The Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir today (Sunday) rejected the bill for the electronic handcuffing of violent men.
In a discussion held at the Ministry of National Security in the presence of women's organizations, the minister promised to advance the proposal in a month.
"Political elements did a despicable act and sought to take advantage of a woman's murder, in order to reap political gain," the minister claimed.
"Politics also has a limit, within a month I will put together a government bill that, on the one hand, will provide an answer to victimized women, and on the other hand, will strike the right balance to prevent false complaints against men."
The CEO of the Hadas Women's Lobby, Danieli Yelin, said in response: "Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir tonight became Minister of National Security for men only.
The decision to reject the electronic surveillance law again, for the second time in two weeks, proves that tens of thousands of women living under fear and violence, some of whom chose it to restore their personal security, are not interested in it.
He succumbed to the pressures of his friends who see women as lesser, not equal,
"Ben Gabir at best does not know the law, and at worst deliberately spreads disinformation. The claim that the law will harm women is unfounded. Professionals have created a mechanism in the law in which the warning about the violent man's location will save women and not endanger them as he claims in an attempt to hide the real motives for rejecting the law." .

Chairman Naamat Hagit Par claimed that "the electronic surveillance bill is so essential and women don't have time to wait anymore.
The government is also dragging its feet with the government proposal that passed the first reading with consent in the previous Knesset, and is also putting its feet up against the opposition's attempts to promote the issue.
When will the State of Israel understand that this is not a matter of coalition or opposition.
When will they stop dragging their feet at the expense of women and children who are forced to continue hiding in the shelter and living in fear.
It is very sad that even a bill whose entire purpose is to protect the victims of violence, becomes a weapon of abuse and women and their children continue to pay the price."
