According to JP Post, the Israeli government announced on Sunday that new legislation will be introduced to grant same-sex and common-law couples equal adoption rights.
This came after a petition by the Association of Israeli Gay Fathers and the Israel Religious Action Center.

However, they reversed the decision just one month ago.

Riki Shapira, lead attorney for the Israel Religious Action Center, stated that “from now on same sex families, who deserve the right to adopt like any other family, will have that right”.
