On video: Chaos in the plenary: Ben Gabir came up to speak at the debate on the electronic handcuff law, the opposition: "shame" (Walla system!)
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir today (Friday) distributed the main points of the electronic handcuffing bill, more than a month after the opposition's proposal failed in the plenary due to his lack of support.
According to his proposal, a judge will be required to request a risk assessment of the man, before deciding whether to place him in an electronic handcuff.
Attaching the handcuffs will be subject to two conditions: receiving a dangerousness assessment, in addition to the background of a conviction for violating the law.
This, with the exception of traffic laws, taxes and planning and construction - or alternatively those against whom an indictment based on violent offenses has been filed.
Ben Gabir's proposal comes after the electronic handcuffing law of Knesset members Gideon Sa'ar, Merav Ben Ari, Naama Lazimi and Merav Michaeli failed in the plenum in a pre-reading vote about a month ago.
The proposal initiated by members of the Knesset during the previous government states that it will be possible for the court to order the use of technological monitoring measures such as electronic shackles for the purpose of monitoring the existence of a protection order in the context of domestic violence, if certain conditions are met, such as a violation of a protection order and a risk assessment.

Ben Gvir opposed the promotion of the bill and claimed that a "balanced" proposal was required in which only after two convictions for violent crimes could they use such electronic monitoring.
Due to criticism, Ben Gabir withdrew from this demand, and now brought a more softened version but still one that is stricter with the women.
"The proposal they wanted to put in front of me actually established that any man could be handcuffed electronically, without background, without a determination of dangerousness and without proof," he said.
"This is an undemocratic proposal that would have also allowed anyone with a foreign interest to easily harm a person's freedom. In the amended bill that I submitted, I determined that it would not be possible to handcuff anyone on a false charge and without proof, but a minimum background check would be necessary, such as a dangerousness test. On the other hand, we made the punishment worse, so that those violent criminals and lawbreakers will pay a much heavier price than what currently exists in the law. Regulating electronic shackles, along with a significant increase in punishment for domestic violence offenses, will serve as an effective tool in the fight against domestic violence."
