A member of the current Knesset is proposing a law that would prohibit the wearing of any garment that obscures the face and prevents identification, in any government office, at any entertainment venue, and on any means of public transportation. According to the legislator proposing the law, Kadima MK Marina Solodkin, its primary purpose is to liberate women from irrational religious restrictions. The bill mainly targets devout Muslims.
Solodkin explained, This past Passover vacation I was in southern France. And in this French province, I saw for myself, women in full burqa. I said, enough! For me, as a former Soviet citizen and believing Jew, I will never allow it in Israel. On July 13 of this year, the French National Assembly voted nearly unanimously, by a count of 355 to 1, to ban burqas in public places throughout the country. On September 14, the French Senate confirmed the bill in another 246 to 1 landslide vote.
