including hostages in the law
The Knesset, and government, is working on passing a law quickly that will consider the hostages taken by Hamas as victims of terror, victims of hate attacks, so that the families can be given compensation quicker.
I do not understand how this works.
Every time someone is killed by a terrorist, or injured or taken hostage, they have to pass a new law to include that victim?
If there is already a law in the books that refers to compensation for the families of victims of terror, shouldn't new victims be included automatically?
it seems backwards that a new law should need to be passed for this. And if it does need to be passed, pass it once and for all and include all victims, future victims included (may there not be any!), so that they do not need to go through this idiocy every time separately.

From what I heard, the law is to give them standing equal to that of families of captured soldiers, not as families of terror victims. I don't know what the exact significance of each status is, but apparently there is something more to captive soldiers' families.
