Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the Knesset has passed a law officially recognizing the legal status of combat trauma victims.

In his statement, Netanyahu said: "We have delivered justice and approved the law concerning combat trauma victims in the Knesset. For the first time, this law legally and officially secures the status of these individuals and recognizes the unique nature of such injuries."

Netanyahu also stated that the scope of the support committee would be expanded and that an additional 45 million shekels would be allocated to its budget. "These funds will be used to provide rights, payments, and compensation to combat trauma victims and their families according to their individual needs," he said.

Thanking Coalition Chairman Ofir Katz for leading the legislation, Netanyahu said: "Our heroes fought for us; we will continue to fight for them and for their well-being."
