None
The Knesset approved a bill in first reading proposing that a citizen who has built an illegal structure will fund its demolition costs. The bill was supported by 22 Knesset members, while 7 opposed and one abstained from casting a vote.
According to the Arab parties, this bill is intended for the Arab and Bedouin population in Israel, even though the bill does not state this. (Roni Sofer)
