Knesset approves gender-segregated graduate degree programs in late-night vote
The legislation, Amendment No. 12, 2026, was sponsored by MK Limor Son Har Melech and passed by a vote of 52-43
Assessment
The Knesset has passed legislation authorizing gender-segregated graduate degree programs, a move that formalizes separation by sex in higher education. The narrow 52-43 vote, held late at night, suggests the measure was contentious and may have been pushed through with minimal public scrutiny. The law's implementation and potential legal challenges will be key to watch.
