Meretz is a left-wing, social-democratic political party in Israel that supports LGBTQ+ rights. They have historically advocated for equal rights for all citizens, including the right for gay couples to adopt children. In 2017, Meretz leader Zehava Galon criticized the government's position on gay adoption, stating that it was 'a disgraceful and miserable decision that deepens the discrimination against the gay community.'

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples
