The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee approved an amendment to military cemetery regulations, which will allow adding to military gravestones that the fallen soldier was abducted and the date of their abduction. The explanation stated that "recently, a request was raised by bereaved families whose loved one was abducted and killed while in captivity. In Defense Minister Israel Katz's appeal to the committee, it was written that there is urgency in approving the regulations due to the request of bereaved families whose loved one was abducted and killed, to note this information on the military gravestone before the annual memorial date for the events of October 7."
