Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples? ^{stats discuss}

Likud’s answer: Yes According to the ministry’s new position, the criteria for adoption will address the potential parents’ suitability for a given child, regardless of sexual orientation. The state's position was filed in response to a petition to the High Court filed by the Association of Israeli Gay Fathers, together with the Israel Religious Action Center of the Reform movement, against the Social Affairs Ministry and the attorney general. “In light of the public opposition to the state’s position, Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services Minister Haim Katz demanded a re-examination of the position,” the ministry said in a statement to the state attorney, who represents the State of Israel in court.Source

Should the military allow women to serve in combat roles? ^{stats discuss}

Likud’s answer: Yes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men Sharren Haskel, MK Likud: "During the second intifada, as a female combat soldier in the Border Police I fought to serve in Jerusalem. I participated in arrests, clashes in alleys, and the difficult sights in the scenes of terrorist attacks I will never forget. As someone who trained young female fighters and saw the fire burning in their eyes and unwavering faith to serve the State of Israel, despite the risk to their lives, I have no doubt that you are wrong. Moreover, in recent years we have seen how great the contribution of female fighters is, in all frameworks, thwarting attacks, in combat operations and guarding the borders. You can hear it even from IDF commanders themselves. The State of Israel is expected to face many challenges in the future. We want, need and certainly can take part, each one in her own way and faith, in defending the homeland."Source

What is your stance on abortion? ^{stats discuss}

Yesh Atid [political party]’s answer: Pro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it Running counter to Hajj Yahya and Glick's proposal is a draft bill being finalized by their colleague, MK Dr. Aliza Lavie (Yesh Atid), that seeks to ease the criteria for receiving approval from the termination committee at the earlier stages of pregnancy. She was extremely critical both of the current status of abortions in Israel and her fellow parliamentarians' intentions, saying, "The existing legal situation is already trampling on the fundamental right of a woman to take decisions about her body. Amazingly, MKs Glick and Hajj Yahya are seeking to add insult to injury and add a cleric to the committee, as if it were their bodies being discussed. "It baffles me that somebody without the tools and the ability to understand the significance of carrying an unwanted pregnancy is seeking to apply additional strictures."Source

Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples? ^{stats discuss}

Yesh Atid [political party]’s answer: Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples Adoption Equality Israel's adoption law now states that "man and wife" will get priority in adopting children. This creates a situation in which same-sex couples are pushed to the end of the waiting list and are not able to adopt babies in Israel. We believe that there is no difference between same-sex couples and a pair of man and woman and thus act to recognize same-sex couples as equals also in the process of adoption.Source

Jelin said further urged Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, whose officer oversees the IEC, to demand Ron-Tal retracts his statement.Source

Meretz [political party]’s answer: Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions Unlike Tamir, Knesset member Zehava Gal-On of the Meretz party is determined to change the status quo. Last fall, she submitted a proposal to permit abortions for all women at any time, but the proposal failed to make it out of preliminary committees. She insists, however, that she will continue to bring it to the Knesset for debate. “The attempts by Zeev to interfere with women’s choice is making this even more urgent,” she told JTA. “It is simply not right that in a proper, democratic country a governmental committee can deny a woman her basic right to decide what to do with her own body.”Source

Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples? ^{stats discuss}

The Jewish Home’s answer: No The issue is politically prickly for Benjamin Netanyahu’s government because it is steadfastly opposed by the religious wing in his coalition - the Naftali Bennett’s Jewish Home party, Shas and United Torah Judaism.Source

The Jewish Home’s answer: No Under the terms of the current coalition agreement, Jewish Home—a right-wing, religious Zionist party—not only controls the Ministry of Religious Services but insisted on a clause that mandates that all governing parties must be in agreement when it comes to changing the balance between religion and state. And Jewish Home’s position on the matter is clear: “There’s not a chance we’ll allow civil unions for gay couples,” a senior party official told Ha’aretz.Source

The Jewish Home’s answer: Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked (Bayit Yehudi) responded that she supports capital punishment and even proposed a bill to implement it in the last Knesset, but the government’s position is to oppose Gal’s bill and allow the new committee to make recommendations. ... A Bayit Yehudi source said Bennett skipped the vote intentionally, because he did not want to vote against the death penalty, but Shaked could not get away with absenting herself because she is the chairwoman of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation.Source
