Coalition said drafting new bill to allow same-sex couples to adopt


(Worthy News) – A new bill being promoted by the coalition proposes allowing same-sex couples to adopt children in Israel, Hadashot TV news reported Wednesday, after an outcry last year when the Welfare Ministry announced — and then reversed — its opposition to the idea.

Hadashot TV reported that a draft has been completed for the bill, which is expected to be approved by Welfare Minister Haim Katz and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked. The bill removes the current requirement for adopting parents to be a man and a woman.

The bill is expected to be finalized in July and will only be advanced in the next Knesset sitting, the report said. The current coalition makeup makes it difficult to pass laws advancing LGBT rights. Religious parties, who traditionally oppose such legislation, hold significant power within the coalition.
